Decline a private chat (do not join, but another request may be re-sent)

Flat / Verbose Themes packaged

Choose activation type (none, email activation, admin approval)

Provide alternate modes for PureChat such as "Support Chat" which allow you to assign operator / customer roles where a private chat is initiated between a single customer and an operator for support chats
Grant or sell "perks" to users (special usernames, icons, smileys, colours) [PureChat sells these licenses which then make money to the site owner by reselling them, or granting them for free]
Ability to send out "announcements" which can stick to the top of the chat, or just show up for "x" amount of seconds, minutes or hours. With the possibility to set "scheduled announcements"
Possibility to add programmed "bots" with canned responses to certain messages, or if directly addressed
Poke module that allows for users to "poke" each other.
