I'm open to any suggestions on how this should be dealt with. We definitely do not want the value of the chat system to fraternities & sororities to be diminished.
Currently the chat is open to other fraternity/sorority websites so that they can offer chat to their website visitors as well. With the chat being an open network in this way, it is also possible for greek-language/heritage related sites to(mistakenly) add this chat to their websites as well. If too many greek-speaking people use the chat (as it seems to be now) it will overwhelm the chat for it's intended use by fraternities/sororities.
So what should we do? We can temporarily turn off the chat for a few weeks to see if this helps, but it will probably not make a big difference in the long run. We can also run two separate chat systems, both still being intended for use by fraternities/sororities - one chat (the current) will remain an open/networked chat and the other could be directly integrated into this bulletin board system, only available through this site and only to registered users (in order to reserve usernames).
Any other comments or ideas?
