A shoutbox is a fully customizable chat interface that takes up about a column width on a web page. It doesn't require an on-duty admin, and is php scriptable:

They've become very popular, but Falconer may have to monkey around with it to get it to work. It's not the sort of thing that people hang around in, like a chat room. It's generally on the home page of a community, and members that happen to be on, posting in the forum, if they happen to cross paths can "shout" to one another, in passing as it were.
