I'll make this simple. Would you guys like to be able to chat through the forums with a chat plugin/addon? Of course, the rules are on the forums applies to the chat box as well. I'd just like to see how many people would like and or dislike this. If most people wish to have it, I have to install 3 chat box addons to see which one fits best for this forum. Why 3? I'm not going to add them all 3 at the same time. There are 3 kind of chat available, I just need to see which one of them is the best.

It's worth trying for awhile... could be used for announcements, etc.

Just let it stay. It doesn't do any harm and has a thread tick included.

after messing with it, i found i had a blast. with the low amount of members it could be fun to have a huge spam fest with them.

i say keep it. it definitely wont do any harm.

From my own experience i saw shoutboxes reduce thread activity down to 0.

Im against it.

Admin only it. We could use it for brief notes.

Admin announces and thread ticker to show whenever someone post to which , etc.. OR leave it as it is and all the idiocy would be left there. Both choices are good.

I Disabled the chat box for now. And I disabled the thread ticker due to the reason people saw replies made in non-public sections.

i reckon it would be a great idea, eg if need help with something like modeling, i could ask the current members online and get a faster response instead of having to pm someone each time, i really think it would be a great idea

If all the people that want a chat box went into irc, it would be just as fun.

Seconded. As I said before, IRC is the way to go. Only problem is lazy people that don't wanna spend 5 seconds of their time fixing it up.

haha some n00bs "attacked" the IP adress of my forum which is actually Triple X' adress. I told you he has strong protection. But you guys did great job, coz you made a lot of lag in our convo. So, way to go n00bs.

Keep it on!
