From the Main Screen of the CPanel, lower left corner, is the CPanel Integrate section. One of the links is "Install Chatroom".
Chat rooms are fun to use if you can get enough people on them. The biggest modivation to join a chat room is that it is fun, here are ways to keep it fun: 1. No kicking anyone out, for any reason. 2. Keep it real, talk about one topic if that topic gets boring then suggest another topic. 3. Leave the sweet talk'n for the bars, online it's boring.

There are two different versions of the chat room, first being a java applet and the other a chat gateway (probably a fancy name for a perl script). We've tested both chat room versions. The "chat gateway" is a simple unestetically appealling chat room that supports Japanese language.
Then there is the feature rich java applet chat room. It doesn't support Japanese language but quality and estetics wise it is the better alternative.
In this how-to we'll show how to install the Java chat room. The "Install Chat Room" Screen does go over the installation of both chat rooms, so if you want to install the "chat gateway" please refer to the html code on that page.

Moving along, To install the java chat room put this code into a web page: www.webhostinginjapan.com/cgi-sys/mchat.cgi?channel=webhostinginjapan.com Congradulations that's all it takes. You can change the channel name but that is the limit to what can be configured.

The first person in a channel is the channel's owner. The only way to add channels is to create additional links on a web page and then configure URL with the name for the new channel. Type /HELP to view the list of commands which can be used.
