Shout box
 

Sorry if this has been suggested before, but it would be nice for the community..


I need something to spam my anger off anyway...

Ya i love them too. ^^

lol yes a shoutbox would be nice :D...oh Mighty Keetos give us shoutbox pwease!

Mountain of spam fits the job nicely.

If we have a large number of members (which we will), the shoutbox will be FLOODED with spam.

Shout Box would be a bad idea IMO.

1) It'll lag the board.
2) There will be large amounts of spam when this board increases its member count.
3) Chat already exists, you only need to encourage people to use it.
4) If you wanted to spam, MoS would vent that frustration.

I agree with the three posts above me.

I sometimes go on a forum which has a chatbox at the top and it's really annoying because I always have to scroll pass it down the page, and it bugs me how I have to keep scrolling down all the time. D: Of course, that forum's layout wasn't really the best, but yeah. Dx It's going to look messy once we start spamming in it.

Besides, it's going to work similarly to live chat anyway if people start talking on it.

Sorry guys I can't grant you this one. We're going to be a big community soon and that will terribly lag everything up.

Bandwith problem also?

meh i suppose it might be...dunno about the lag part...I've used plenty of sites with shoutboxes and with large amounts of members with no lag. As for mountain of spam?...lol waitin on post replys is boresome..I've used the Chat a few times doesnt ever seem to be anyone in it.

Thats understandable Neetos, although if we can err..a server upgrade? lol can we get a shoutbox maybe ?

Those the chat suck up any bandwidth? its hardly in use, EVER

Porn bots in the shout box = 24/7 needed maintenance.

No one is ever on the FlashChat, and MoS takes time for people to respond...

I support a shout box, lol.

I don't believe that I've ever seen bots spam chat box before, but with chat boxes that I've seen, they're really useless. If you're looking for an answer right away and you post in Chat Box, what happens if the people aren't on. You won't lose that much time needed to get a reply to your question since so many people patrol the forums

Agreed. And if you're using the shout box to ask questions, it's better to do it via a thread anyway, since people would probably give a longer and more detailed answer to it.

Yeh, just like the question in my thread that NOONE answered!-_-;;

I think we should just encourage the members to also use the chat box (or what ever you call it) and anyhow we can spam our lungs out in there..let's be considerate to other people who has lower system..

I do believe it's quite costly to run the server as is. If Keetos says he won't/can't support the idea, I don't believe nagging him any further will do any justice to your cause rokaraged.

Request to close topic, as it has been answered.
