I know, I thought about that, the integration with the user list has to be a must so it would have to be an internal / compatible with the the forum software.

I ran a jabber sever for several years during my deployments and it was on a minimal zentyal install. Setup was fairly simple, server address, username and password.

upgrade to a jabber (xmpp) software, then users can either use the web interface or use open source software on their computers or ios or android phones and still chat on the go.
