Are there any web apps which allow multiple users to chat, while preserving the chat history for all to see?

"for all to see" - you mean public, or the users in the chat? – Raithlin Jul 1 '10 at 6:54

Any plan on offering the stack exchange chat engine for us to buy or to offer the same services as the others? or do you hate money? – GoodEnough Sep 25 '10 at 14:53

You can use Google Talk. All chats are archived within Gmail.

But does it do multi-user? – Robert Munteanu Sep 30 '10 at 18:47
Of course it does. If not, it wouldn't qualify as an answer, would it? Just click on the icon with the person and the plus sign to add people to the chat. – Dominik Sep 30 '10 at 20:44

Quassel IRC is not web app, but solve some problems
It is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical.

It allow multiple users connect to single core each with own accout, so in core keeps all chat logs. And again it just IRC.
