I am looking for an online chat room that can accommodate 20 or so people in a class...all the ones I know about cost money. MSN and Skype can only accommodate max 10 people and our current blackboard type system doesn't have this available.

Does anyone know where I might find a free online chat space that is private and can be used for a class to meet online?

Have you looked at something like Second Life?

I know of that but that would require everyone in the class to download that and not everyone would want to and are not tech savvy enough to do it.

My other board sometimes uses the government or recreation rooms.  We seem to be the only group that has found the site.  A few times we've had someone wander in, mostly they realize they don't recognize any of us and leave; sometimes they stay to chat with us, but that's a possibility with any free public chat room.  I don't think I have ever seen anyone, other than us, in any of the rooms, so you should be able to "appropriate" one with no problem.  Don't use the green, orange, or yellow font colours; you'll rapidly go blind.

If a pouting pluot ploughman planted pluots in a plot, and the plot were ploughed on Pluto, would his pluot ploy play out?
