Title: Forum Chat Stream
Post by: Monorail Cat on November 23, 2012, 05:52:16 AM
So, being a member of several other gaming forums, I've experienced one of the forums which had a live chat-box at the top of the forum index.  This i think would just be an interesting and fun idea, just to talk to others who might not be on your friends list.

I have also been a member of groups which have that, but I'm honestly not sure if we want it.

I mean it's certainly almost a necessity for groups/clans/organizations with very few members, but when there are too many people here the thing sort of becomes a hassle and can have negative effects. I personally think that this specific forum has outgrown the need for it.

I'd actually love to see how it would work out because I imagine it being a place where people would say random things or things that don't deserve to have a whole thread dedicated to it. I say we give it a try.

Exactly what I thought.

I think was already one before but no one ever used it do Coolz took it down. I could be wrong though.

That was because you had to go on anther page just to use it.

What Monorail Cat is suggesting is that there should be a chat box (to the size or on the top of the page) for in-forum chatting.

big deal, if it's too hard to click on a link to chat then it's not that useful for everyone to implement and slow down every page load

What if there would be an option that would allow to disable the chat for everyone individually? Or we could bring back the good ol' AB
