We have looked at the possibility but we have never tried any chat system. Anyone with experience of what system would be most suitable?

OpenFOAM users have web-based IRC at openfoamwiki.net: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Special:WebChat
Personally I haven't used it yet, due to various allergies to IRC Therefore, I don't know what's the level of success there . edit: vbulletin is a massive world of its own... so I can only guess that vbulletin 4 has AJAX, thus allowing real-time threads/posts?

IRC isn't a private chat. Do you know what IRC channel/network OpenFoamWiki are using?
We actually had an IRC channel on EFNet linked to from CFD Online a long time ago. About 15 years ago I remember that we also had some action there, but it has been dead for many years now and we removed the link a year ago I think. Concerning vBulletin. Pete is ready with the migration to vBulletin 4, although the LaTeX add-in is not working as well as before. However, vBulletin has started to market their upcoming version 5. We are a bit hesitant if it is smart to move to 4 now when it will soon be replaced. Apparantly 4 was not very successful and many large forums have done as CFD Online and stayed with the 3 version. vBulletin Solution have been working hard on a replacement which is now soon ready for launch. Migrating from both 3 and 4 will require significant work. We haven't decided if we should wait or switch to 4 now. What do you think? |

This is still a relevant question after all these years. Sadly the CAE world still doesn't have a proper chat community. That's why I expanded Elmer's Discord server to host almost all FLOSS and proprietary software out there. There are channels for pretty much everything, namely:
