So you want to instantiate and hook-up an instance for every call?! That's insane. OMG | :OMG: Memory is extremely cheap and process cycles are not. 1000 users sharing one object is far better than 1000 users creating new objects I assure you! This is how most chat servers work, only they typically use raw sockets but a single application. The DirectX 9 SDK has many examples of this too, only using DirectPlay (sockets).

Having a single object also makes it easier to communicate with other connected clients. If each client connects to a separate object, that object will have to waste time persisting messages in a database (extremely inefficient and from everything I've seen - never done) and clients waste time getting it out. All current logging features are responsibilities of the client applications. They simply log what they get from the server (indirectly from the clients).

Look for the examples here on CP. They all use tried-and-true methods for chat servers and clients which are used for IRC, AIM, YM, MSN, etc.
