On my old forum, they also used vBulletin as there web server, so I'm guessing its a possibility that we can get a chat box, seeing as how my old forum had one. You just type in a quick message, click submit, and when the page reloads, your message is in the box, and you can see other messages people put. Anyone can use it, and it's something fun to do when you're bored. Anybody else think this is a good idea?

eh, people mostly do that in the spammers corner.
if we had a chatbox, it'd probably be filled with spamy spamy spamy spam.

Bingo lol - and that helps out the overall post count in the forum

and if you want to chat with people - i suggest you get IRC - it is form of a chatbox which is much more secure with a lot more features - we have a channel there

i am trying to set up a flash IRC program here on the forum so you don't have to download anything - you can go in there and chat stuff

Yeah, I was thinking this, but with a chat box, people will post less, which is a bad thing :-(

I've seen forums, where they've gotten a chat box after being super active, then they just go down the drain.

this thread is a poll - more Yes's than No's and again...denied :)

Most shoutboxes are exploitable AND some of them are resource hogs. and of course they take away from the forum activity.

You all can get together in an external chatroom, I don't mind that but there won't be a shoutbox/chat box here.

We are a forum, all we do is chat.
Why would we need a chatbox?
You want lovely little everyday conversations? Open a spam thread.
YOU CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN.

Spam thread doesn't exactly have to be spam, amirite? It can be anything and everything.
AM I DOING IT RITE LINUX?

There, now it's even. Now it's not in the publics favor either.

Now no is winning. :twitcy:
I don't think we need a chatbox for, basically, all the reasons above. If you want to chat so badly, use yahoo, msn, or something...

Ya, I mean aren't we already chatting? I mean the only difference is that it's slower.

Slower and people think (usually.. kind of.. some people) before they press submit.

I'm sorry if this offends you but that comment made it seem like you were trying to please Linux. Do not take it in the wrong way either.
