• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My co-workers and I are looking for an IM program that's nothing but quick and dirty messaging without the bells and whistles of the traditional server-based systems.Something we could throw on our network and use instead of having to use our inefficient flesh-sacks in close proximity to one another. Oh, and free is always nice.

Any recommendations?
 
I believe Trillian has support for server-less chat via the old "Rendezvous" protocol. It's actually called "Bonjour" now though but it works the same.

It should automatically see all LAN computers and there is no server to run.
 
We're trying to find something more lightweight than Trillian, honestly. Don't happen to know of another option, do you?
 
Pidgin supports Bonjour too.

But I guess thats not anymore "lightweight" than Trillian. Not sure what's so heavy about Trillian though. Version 5 is pretty lightweight IMO.

Miranda IM I believe is a little lighter then both. Also has a Bonjour plugin.
