Offering public rooms in your VolanoChat server is the easiest way to create a community from a group of related Web sites. Personal chat rooms are available only with VolanoChatPro. They are created with the MyVolanoChat applet and are visible only to the people actually in the chat room. People in other chat rooms are not aware of any personal rooms in the server. Internet Service Providers can offer personal chat rooms to their Web hosting customers, giving each site its own virtual chat server.
Community sites can offer personal chat rooms for the Web pages of their members.
Both public and personal chat rooms allow visitors to create independent private chat sessions with anyone else in the room. Normal chat connections are those made through the regular VolanoChat and MyVolanoChat applets by visitors connecting to chat. Monitor connections are made through the monitoring version of the VolanoChat applet for those visitors who know the VolanoChat server password. Monitors can remove visitors from a chat room, temporarily kick them out of the server, or even ban them permanently from re-entering the server. Administrator connections are made through the administrator version of the VolanoChat applet for those visitors who know the VolanoChat administrator password.
