Default Chatroom Script/Software

I am looking for a chatroom script/software of sorts, when I need it for it to allow up to 30 users at one time. I don;'t want to put any money into this as it will only be used once or twice a year for a few hours at a time.

Preferably something dead simple, no registrations, just have users create a user name when they visit the chatroom.

Even if it wasn't a script but something hosted somewhere else that would be good too.

Any help, thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

IRC would probably be the simplest option as users don't have to register just enter their nick and join the channel.

Most data centres will not allow you to host your own IRC server, so you either need to use a channel on an existing network or rent your own shell to run it in.

An alternative is Ignite Realtime: a real time collaboration community site which is a Jabber server, the client is also on the site. The downside to this is users have to create a user name and password which they then use to sign in to the service, however it may be possible to link its user authentication to an existing database.

You would need your own server or VPS to be able to host this, which I don't know if you have, but I've not come across a data centre that doesn't allow Jabber servers yet.
