What is the current setup? AJAX shoutbox?

Na, it's a shitty old flash-based chat room (appropriately called "
FlashChat"). It's nice because it's one of the few free options that integrate directly with vBulletin, but it hasn't been updated since 2010 and has a known exploit out there in the world. We could technically downgrade back to an old version, but it's probably not worth it.
Really, for what we use it for, I'd bet we'd be fine just using Chatzy (or similar). It's pretty basic (not easy to "skin" to make it look Chiefs-themed). Rooms expire after 14 days of inactivity, but that would get us through the season just fine, and it's easy to re-create a room any time. Only downside would be the inability to keep banned users out or prevent fakes (like me logging in as GoChiefs for example). But...meh. I doubt that'd be a deal killer.
