ARSC is an easy to install, simple to handle, cross-browser compatible chat system with its own socket server. If you have a modern browser with frame support and JavaScript enabled, ARSC makes use of these technologies. If you have an older browser, or you have JavaScript disabled, or even if you have a browser that doesn't support frames, you can still chat using ARSC. Unlike many other PHP/MySQL webchats, ARSC can be run using a non-forking socketserver to handle all message transport. The socketserver of ARSC works very ressource-friendly and can handle way more users.
