This is a great component/module, very well developed, highly customizable and actively maintained and supported. I like my chat to be fully hosted in my site (in order to avoid the uncertainty/costs of external hosts and the bad behaving widgets of MSN etc). And this one has everything I want, and -most importantly- an excellent support!
Wall Factory
This looks like an abandoned project, at least as far as Joomla 1.5 is concerned. Several features don't work at all (eg avatars) and there is no way to get any kind of help. Documentation is zero, and there is not even a Wall Factory subforum in their forum, where one could at least get help from other users.

It's a pity, it must have been nice on its day.
Owner's reply

The project is not abandoned.

As it is clearly stated in our webpage (product page) the product had 6 months of free support when it was launched, after that period we have only payed support. The extension is FREE (as free beer) but unfortunately we can not afford to support it for free. So as stated in the product page all support is available for Club Members only. Club Members have also access to other (non free) downloads too.
The subforum is visible only for club members.

The updates resulted of the payed support are made available to the community, so i think there is a benefit to it even for non paying users.

Rating the product 2 stars is in my opinion pretty harsh, since the extension is fully functional in Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 and without any known issues. if you like a support session for your installation we would gladly do it.
