I like how you wrote the text input system by hand (You did didnt you?) Yes I did, it was based off one i used for a command line i wrote a while back. if the admin/host logged off everyone else would lose connection. i say go for smaller chat rooms hosted by users and have it set where friends can log into there friends chats Yeah that is the problem with the current version of that messenger but I'm hoping to implement something similar to what your proposing, it will take a while to recode though. Thanks Madcow saves me a lot of work. I will add credits in the virtual chatroom client (this goes for anyone who helped me). Also can I edit it so the server is say running on my computer and the client is running on other computers. Well you won't need to change anything for the server but for the clients some where in the code it should have a line that says connection(0) = NewConnection ("Localhost", 8000)
change it to connection(0) = NewConnection ("<ip address of your computer that is running the server>", 8000)
it should work.

Well thanks for the help everyone but I was just learning the network engine and so I created my own server and client. Although I haven't done much it connects to the server.
I will make a server which will be online 70% of the time.
I'm going to try and make the server look like a windows program with the buttons file and options. Also it will have buttons called accept client and reject client. It will also minimize into a traybar eventually. Once I have finninshed my Server I will go onto making the client better with the login and register. I will then focus on the chat and then the virtual rooms to go with it.
This whole project should take between 6 months and 3 or 4 years depending on how much I want this project finnished
