Hottsauce, it's this easy. I'm sure most of the people here use FireFox. Just install ChatZilla, it's an IRC addon for it, written in **********. Then just copy/paste this link:

irc://irc.gamesurge.net/esf

And voila, you're chatting with everyone else. Also works if you have another IRC client, it just automatically opens it via that link.

EDIT: Alright.....why the HELL is J@vaScript censored?

Probably the same reason why e-m-b-e-d is censored.

I never saw the point of having a chatbox on a forum. So, I voted "No, I would really dislike that."

n00bs do not make sense. That is quite obvious. They pinged so hard, and failed so low, the IP adress of my forum which I wrote in SBox. That's what happened >_>

You mean DDOS attack? I don't see how that has to do with a shout/chat box.

Because, that all happened in SBox XD (me sending IP adress, and 5 mins later, terrible lag on Trilie's PC in The-Land-Of-Mighty-Dutch-Meats. That's all)

I imagine that a shoutbox would be abused in much the same way that the comments system on the main site was.

It's not so bad, though. I'm sure that the shoutbox will give me some more work to do, if you catch my drift ;)

In the mean time, I voted "No", as I consider a shoutbox entirely superfluous because we have an IRC channel, which I don't think enough people visit. I've had many a fun time in #esf. I might even return, one of these days...

You want to chat? Network: irc.gamesurge.net. Channel: #esf.

Sure it takes a little more effort but a much better substitute for a chat/shoutbox.

A chatbox would be useless, what would we use the forums for then? However, if there is an IRC plugin for these boards, I would be a lot more interested.

Terrible idea.

We don't need forums, an irc channel, and a shout box. There really isnt that much conversation going on.

No...
I think those "shoutbox" addons for boards are just stupid...

Why?

This is a board, not a chat..
If you want to "chat" use the IRC Channel, thats the reason why it exist..
