What are the chances of the site implementing a chatbox ?
Perhaps via the main page ? Its a good way to soak up spam and for members to get to know one another.
There used to be one but it seems to have gone dunno why though
Wasnt aware of that. Maybe they heard I was on the way ? :P
There was one twice.
The first was a few years ago ( before I joined ) and another was around this past Chrismas. My best memory on this site was there.
Ah ... Good times ... I think it should come back. Lets ask?
Well, thats why I made this. Hoping someone would notice.
I hope they do also.
But I doubt any of the site staff have the power to create it. I think that lies with Darkness and considering he closed it twice our chances are slim.
But yeah hopefully a Site Staff will stumble across this and put a word in. Perhaps we should list reason why it'd be good to have one?
Good idea.
1: Reduces spam and clutter.
2.) Is a feature that'll attact more AVP fans to the website.
Also on the note of " Users might talk about something your not supposed to talk about in the threads" simply get a MOD to watch over it.
Or better yet make someone a MOD and their job is to watch over the Chatbox.
Good idea actually.
Even then, they could make it so that only users who are 18 can use/see it.
No need making it 18 plus you couldn't have pictures in the old one and most talk is about the films and game that are coming out.
Doesnt matter about pics really. Its for small, quick chats and spam among members. It can be good for conversations. Normal threads can get off topic, much to the shagrin of the staff. Also, other members can interrupt and start off a tandem.
But tbh I thought that happened more in the chats but only when they had more than say 4 people. I remember 1 good chat I had for like 4 hours. Good Times.
You can acutally have a private chat room in the larger chat room.
If you want to make one " 18 +" you could but it'd be hard to enforce.

Made that out of boredom.
Am I loved yet? :P

Not bad, but it needs to be a real part of galaxy. Is the look customisable ?

Yes, actually. I'll try and customize it later
Awesome. How'd you do it BTW ?
There was one back in Feb and March. Why was it removed?

Create an account on Chatango(mine is the same as it is here) and it'll allow you to create your own chats

It was taking up too much space on the server. This has been answered before ¬_¬
True.
Perhaps we should get one and limit it to members who post a lot or something? You know a reward to limit its size.
Still take up the same amount of room (just a guess) and would leave a lot of members out.
A permanent link to the one posted, but on the main page would work perfect.
This idea better not've died on the vine, it sounds very good.
Tryin' to find a way to embed the chat on the site atm...so far it isn't working.
Do you have permission from Darkness ?

FFFUUUU-
forgot about that..
EDIT: I just E-Mailed him, I'm waiting for a response.
This thread served its purpose ... ???
I always liked the chat box for the simple fact that one of my closest buddies and I chatted on there alot. Alas, not many people use it to warrant it becoming a staple feature.
I used to have chatboxes on old Invision forums that I ran. The issue with them is, while great for soaking up spam and making small talk, they don't work out for just that. Any discussion that would usually be held in the forums end up going into the chatbox, and that makes the forums themselves obsolete.
