The receiveMessage() function would regularly keep casting strings based
on a 2048 byte array, this didn't seemingly pose a problem until I
noticed the RAM usage go through the roof when the client had to be
populated with the chat history of a lengthy chat log by the server. To
fix this I am now creating a second array using the number of bytes
being returned by the Read() method and copying the 2048 byte array's
contents into it, setting the former array to nil afterwards.
After realizing what I'd have to go through to build a functional "Users
online:" view, I have decided to NOT do that, especially because this
entire thing still runs on raw TCP messages for commmunication and
trying to tell apart regular messages from join/disconnect messages in
the client to properly update the possible new view would be hell.

I've finally managed to properly rebuild the project, it's not extremely
clean, but compared to before, it's infinitely more functional and
expandable.
