How to get it?

I just want to ask if it is any way possible to perhaps integrate a chat room into this MOD sometime in the future?  Ajax is very tedious to get working, and many of the other integrated chat rooms have become outdated.  It's a personal preference of myself and members to have a chat room and not a shoutbox.  But everything that comes with this shoutbox and it's smf integration is wonderful.  I do think if you added a chatroom "module" of some sorts it would really get even more attention as many of us that used ajax chat for smf are looking for easy and simpler alternatives.  Even if there's a price to have this done, custom made for me, please let me know.

I indeed had something like this in my plans, I had a custom version before my HDD broke where the shoutbox had tabs and every user was able to chat in private with each other. Maybe I can write something like it soon, I honestly don't know.

Oh, ok, sounds nice.  Looking at the preview images, the only real addition that would be ideal, for now, is to have a memberlist (like the "who is chatting" button) but have it a static side block.  I may try and dabble with this myself, going to go ahead and purchase and see.

I sunk in about $140 so far into prochatrooms and it just doesn't attempt to do anything you want to, as far as integration goes.  The support is non-existent there, too.  So, just researching for alternatives.
