I'm looking for a good free chatroom software, doesn't have to be incredibly robust, but with a few specific features. There are several available for easy install through my hosting, and I could probably get anything else installed easily, but I don't want to mess around with installing them just to try them out and find they don't work, so I'm looking for suggestions.
I want to be able to have a kind of virtual "microphone", essentially so that I can control who is able to talk at different times. This is the most important feature, because it's being used for a sort of group meeting online, and I want to be able to give someone the floor for a while, let them talk, then open it up for comments.
Not as important, but I'd like to be able to color code groups of people, such as the moderators, the primary speaker, custom groups. That would merely help, but not be essential.
Somewhat important is logging, though I can also do that manually. It'd be nice if I could simply have it export into a text file the entire contents of the chat during a specified time frame.
I think that's all that matters, other than simply working well. Thanks in advance!
