Problem: We need to get the on-site chat back online to hopefully aid in
getting feedback.

Solution:
The *optimal* solution is to simply iframe Freenode's webchat client.  Pass it
a query string with the room so it is prefilled and if you want to get fancy
add a simple php snippet so it generates a guest username.  Then it is done. 
It will have a captcha to help stop spammers and gives us the power to actually
operate the room. 

The system before was simply sub-optimal for any moderation (as was the reason
it was taken down.) This system also reduces load on our servers, which is a
plus.

Are there any downsides I am missing here?
