warder Report post Posted April 27, 2006 i think the forums here need a shoutbox so people can just talk easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted April 27, 2006 erm. 1) shoutbox? mebe you should have explained what that is 2) people can talk just fine here 3) people talk too much here (some people just love to post... which is good for a chatsite, but not where serious discussion is going on...)

Atlantis Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Hmm, I think this is what he means: There would be a little box where you can type a line and hit enter, and it appears on everyone else's forum screen in a little window. Sorta like local chat, except on the forums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanyel Report post Posted April 28, 2006 I've seen shoutbox working on other community's website and this is something that: a. make loading page slower; b. is used to spam only; c. is abused in many ways. No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No.   i've seen shoutbox workin on websites  1.increase the fun 2. had people askin good questions and having good discussions 3. and cuts down on pointless threads  just a suggestion that i've seen work on some websites. it does have the negative effect of slowing a page a little i'll give you that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samanex Report post Posted April 28, 2006 Sounds like it could be useful, maybe best not actually on the forum pages, but as a seperate window. With a few designated channels it might keep a little spam off the forums and off the channels in-game. Â As the forums are now, I enjoy the page loading speed on my dial up, and in-game I find it distracting to try and follow the channels while playing.
