Chat Box

Archive: 10 posts


I think this forum needs a chatbox. It'd be a great way for members to get to know eachother. At another forum I go to, it's used quite a bit and it would be especially nice here since there's really no "Off-Topic" forum.

How about it?

I was wondering when someone would try to make a new suggestion for this...

It's been suggested a million times. The Spam Can was, in essence, a chat box- well, same principle.

CC and his mods have decided that a Chat Box would be too hard to moderate, and they will never support a method of communicating besides the forum, and, well... It's not happening. It's been suggested a million times, and I can't see CC's resolve being changed by this, so, um, yeah... a mod will probably be here to lock this shortly :O.

It doesn't really need to be moderated a whole lot. I mean, this isn't /b/ or anything.

... You'd be surprised what people would become when they have no rules, when their heart of darkness is unleashed. We are all wild animals, confined by "rules"... if a method such as this would occur, it is entirely possible that the atmosphere we've had here would break...

... anyway, philosophy aside, you'd need a REALLY big arguement to get CC to even consider it... by which I mean holding his family hostage or something... and even THAT may not work :O

You weren't here in the Spam Can days were you? *Sigh*. Going to be locked any minute now. It's a good idea though.2009-07-02 05:52:00

As RockSauron said, it has been suggested many times before and simply won't be happening. We would need at least two new moderators to cover it over a 24 hour period and it would be too easy for someone to come on and post inappropriate content unnoticed.2009-07-02 12:27:00

Is it possible to have a IM intergrated into the site?2009-07-02 12:58:00

If you want to chat to people on the site you can get their IM from from them and do it elsewhere.

The point of all of this is that anything affiliated with the site needs to be moderated, so the site and it's affiliations don't become tarnished by abusive users. This is my assumption how how it works anyway.
