Me and a friend are starting up a video game streaming site. Streamers can stream while people talk on the right side chatbox.
Previously on sites we've taken apart of, we have used IRC and Rizon (they have some nice bots) through a Mibbit widget.
We're not very fond of Mibbit's client and we were thinking about other chat services or if we should build our own. I do believe we have the technical skills however I am unsure if a php/jquery chat will hold up with a load of about ~30 active people at once or if it would be too slow to use.
So what do you guys think? Doable or should I skip the hassle and stick with IRC/Mibbit?
