Can someone direct me to the most updated and best version of a chatroom? Is it still the chatroom module or phpfreechat??
If it's phpfreechat, I need help on how to install on my site? Can someone please help me? I'm a beginner here and a chatroom is vital to my site's survival.
Thanks,
Craig

Chatroom woes
Well, I went through the same effort a few months ago. Search Chatroom and you'll find several options that Drupal folks are using.
I selected Userplane they have a robust product and a free version with ads. The integration with Drupal was not too great, but I was able to get it working. Good Luck on our search.

PJIRC module + running your own IRC server
If you don't mind people loading a java applet, this is a good combo*
I used InspIRCd (http://www.inspircd.org/) as I really liked their modular approach. I have mine set to require a drupal username and password to get in - which intend to pass via the PJIRC module.
*I have not put this out for public use yet. I did run into a problem with the module not passing the Drupal username to the applet param list properly, but I suspect it's my error or a simple fix. Haven't looked into it yet.
