Chat Avenue is a web site that hosts chat rooms. A total of 20 chat rooms are available. Originally launched with DigiChat software based on Java, it was subsequently changed and built with 123 Flash Chat, an Adobe Flash-based software for in-browser chat rooms in October 2005.[2] In 2018, new PHP software was added to the website due to browser restrictions and the upcoming end-of-life announcement by Flash.[3][4] In 2021, new chat software was added enabling user support of a webcam.[5] The chat rooms are administered by volunteer moderators and administrators.
