Does anyone know of a good free Java chat client they can recommend? |
I think that's what the above people meant.
Anyway, I know GH uses JavIRC, but I think that might be shareware. |

A Java-IRC chat isn't that hard to put in, I believe, and it's easy for everyone. They allow you to just pick a nick-name and sign in (it looks like you're signing into a chat when it's really just an IRC server and channal masked), is graphical, can be put in a link on the message board (so instead of install mIRC new users can see the big friendly "join our chat!" button at the bottem of the message board and would be more likey to join and talk) and most importantly, it's still an IRC channal so those of us who know our way around IRC and who don't prefer to have our connection slaughtered by a Java application can still use IRC clients to connect... no need to modify the actual channal at all! 
See http://www.gamehippo.com/ for an example of a JavIRC chat. |

| I can add one to a version of subsilver so that you can chat on the main index at the bottom. Want me to? |

| Sure... but e-mail it to Emmzee when you have, I can't add it-don't have the access to do so. |
