What is Gateways Live Chat
Gateways Live Chat is a php chat system that is based on Channels, where the users can login to the system (no sign up required) by entering their nickname, and the system will automatically generate a unique ID number to them in the following format [Nickname_ID] e.g. Bond_2492 and that will be their username. following this, the user will have have to enter a Channel name (any channel name) [Note: you can configure the Default_Channel Setting to a certain channel that will be joined automatically after the user login], if that channel already exists the user will join it, otherwise it will be automatically created, which means there is an infinite number of channels, and by one click the channel will be joined/created, and the users will be able to start chatting or whispering(private messages). And users are free to leave any channel at anytime and join/create another. and each Channel is by itself which means that users within a any channel will not be able to see the messages written or the users online in Another Channel.
