We are looking at switching to an external chat application.
If you have any you're familiar with on other sites that you like please do let us know.

Is this in addition to the current one, or in place of it? I guess you know that Philosopher's Stone has a 2nd chat room. I have no clue about the ins and outs of all that. I don't use it much. Occasionally I open up the chat window but I can never get the drift of any particular conversation, and I always feel like I'm butting into something private anyway.
What do you envision using the chat app for? Anything particular?
This would be in place of the current chat. Currently we have members using chat... but feel chat could be better utilized if managed a bit differently.
We've had issues with bullying and other violations of chat guidelines in chat recently.
We're hoping to create maybe 2 or 3 chat rooms to replace the one. With slightly different focuses. So we can have a chat area that is going to be designated as very friendly and welcoming space with more restrictions language, adult content, and topic wise. Then have another group that is more 'anything goes'. Then perhaps a third chatroom for role playing, astral travel practice, activity minded kind of chatgroup.
We may use the same application for each chatroom, or may have some differences, for instance one may be a video and audio chat room as well as written chat, and another may be written chat only.
If we create our chat rooms based out of groups, (though in their own separate chat area/tab/directory) we will be able to post those chat rooms guidelines more clearly.
We're looking for chat applications that ideally allow members the option of blocking/ignoring members in chat that are 'bothering' them. As this seems to be a problem that comes up from time to time in chat is people not respecting others boundaries.
We'd also like a chat application that allows us to log chatroom activity so we can check on reports of abuse and inappropriate behaviour.
Essentially, we'd like to replace the existing chat with options that will allow us to make better use of chat as well as make the chat experience better for our members that would like to use it by giving them more options.
Definitely as we grow, it might be nice to have 'scheduled chats' for discussing specific topics or interests. Or even if we have someone who is very experienced in an area, we could have chat used to teach classes, especially if we have a video chat set up. Someone can demonstrate things in chat, etc.
Right now though my main concern is addressing some of the complaints and concerns members have had with chat around unwanted contact or bullying so that people can have more control over their chat environment. :)
