    PJIRC mod for phpbb?

    I'd like to install this mod: http://pjirc4phpbb.earlsoft.co.uk/ on my phpbb board. It integrates an external IRC room (not hosted on DIS) into phpbb via a Java client. I want to make sure its not going to hog up the server, though.

    Is anyone familiar with this mod and how resource-intensive it is? Or can anyone at least speculate/give me some advice?

      I'd guess no. I've never been able to host a java based irc chat (going to a real channel based elsewhere (efnet)) on a shared host. Each time I was told it would be resource intensive. (if I could install one of those, I'd love it & use it, as Im an IRC junkie )

      Prolly best thing is, to google the software name and look and see if anyone has any problems with it.

        If it runs on the client side, which it seems to do as a Java Applet, it shouldn't eat up much in the way of resources. The audio player might be a concern however it can be disabled. The "bot" seems to also be client-side as a java applet. The bot is kind of cool, only those using your version of PJIRC see it.
