Each user will have their own database that stores all messages that they have sent or received. When first connecting to a user, the chat history with that user will be printed. The database naming scheme is {username}.db.
There is a user database that stores all the usernames, passwords, and ip addresses of users. It is checked against when a user tries to log in.
There is a contacts database that holds all contacts of all users. Users can add contacts to the database and the option "view contacts" will allow users to display all their contacts.
