Chatrooms


Recommended Posts

Well, i am not sure you can get a Chat room... Although i know what chris said:

No. Not really something I want on my site, also yet another channel that needs moderators. Use the forum to chat, it's what it's for.

Thats why this is here, If we had that, well you are mostly talking to other strangers on the chat room, like Java Chat room.

If you mean like a shoutbox, thats incredibly annoying for visitors, and even moreso for staff who have to keep an eye on every line that goes through it. At least not everybody sees a bad post if one is made, but where everybody sees something that anybody can post, thats horrible.

Think, how easy would it be to post a URL to your own site (breaking the advertising rule) or swear (with dots in or something) or flame or anything. Too easy.

Most of us use MSN or AIM anyway, and the idea of the forum is to discuss, so I don't see anything we'd gain from having that kind of chat feature. Its not as if people will say "omg come to tgtap, its got a chatroom" (thats so 1997).

And youl get bots who post porn or advertisments. And n00bs who post, well, n00by things. And it somehow makes a site look unproffestional. I'v seen shoutboxes and guestbooks on sites, they suck.

Gtastunting used to have a shoutbox, until people started abusing it's features by spamming..etc.

Maybe we could try it, but immidiatley take it down if someone does something bad on it, or just ban the person that did it from posting on it, I don't know if that would be possible though.

We've already tried it before. And it, ofcourse got spammed with advretising, flames, all kinds of stuff. No way I want that back.

Mostly On my friends forum Guests could actually use the shotbox and do what they want, I guess the same happened to him, Getting flamed by Guests, So it's best to Never use a Shoutbox in a forum.

Thanks for the known information, bud.

Since all we're doing is repeating the basic same thing over and over.. I guess it's time for a *CLOSE*
