Need a good shoutbox with filters, etc.

[aww]

Can anyone recommend a php controled shoutbox that is fairly hacker-proof and has good filters?

Free would be a big plus but if it's cheap enough and worth the money, that would be okay too...

I would reccomend you to use "FloodBox" it's free, and it has alot of great features (block usenames, admin usernames, banned words, remember users, autoscroll, anti-flood functions, chars counter, etc.).

DEMO: http://www.zymic.com/msgx/floodbox.php
Download link: http://www.jumnious.info/downloads/floodbox2.zip

The official site is floodboy.net, but I had to find another website that had it for download because the owner of the official website is selling the domain and doesn't have the script up.

Wow you are a mind reader, I was looking for that one in particular but the floodboy.net domain had expired.... thanks!

Hmm after fiddling with it for a bit, the config file keeps corrupting when I add a bunch of bad words to filter. Not good.

Tried 3 boxes so far, each has a shortcoming

floodbox
CJ Tag Board v3.0
shoutpro

any other ideas?

You can download floodbox from this website. If the config file still doesn't work when you add banned words to the filter, then you can try the other shoutboxes on this website (Tagger, and Tag PHP). Make sure you use lowercase letters and put quotation marks in the banned words, that might be the problem.

I appreciate all the suggestions. Still doing research as I am not completely happy with what I am testing.

Features required:
1. flood control (ip and optionally cookie throttle)
2. bad words filter
3. single iframe insertion, though I can hack around this
4. no mysql required
5. smilies via floating DIV, NOT a popup

Many don't have #1, some have #2. Most don't suffer from #4.
I have yet to find one what works like #5.

I may end up writing my own, sigh.
