Our server is capable of handling many thousands of users simultaneously 
(we run the very solid Debian linux-based IRC server used for many of the 
huge public IRC networks).  We have a java chat applet (at 
http://www.sharechat.co.nz/live.html) that works fine for most people; if 
people hit problems with that, IRC clients like mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/) 
often works well.

Not all sites use IRC and so if their applet doesn't work that's about it, 
but one of the reasons we chose IRC is so that we have lots of alternatives..

See my other post - the only common problem we're aware of is people behind 
a firewall.
