Fluxy 1,660 Posted February 5, 2014 Hello everybody, so been thinking that it would be good to add like a chat box to the forum, possibly to the side bar? Just for idle chat without pointless threads being made that are insta spambin. What do you guys think?? Quote Share this post Link to post
Gaz 13 Posted February 5, 2014 Always felt a shoutbox was a good idea. Previous rule dictated it was a stupid idea Quote Share this post Link to post
Shadow 0 Posted February 5, 2014 How many times has it been suggested? Who is Fluxy for not knowing this? No. Quote Share this post Link to post
Fluxy 1,660 Posted February 5, 2014 It's been suggest loads because it's a good idea, I think we need it, people are always Bitching about random threads so why don't we fix the problem. I think you should be able to share stuff with the community without it being branded spam and useless Quote Share this post Link to post
Jak 1,381 Posted February 5, 2014 Isn't the teamspeak essentially the forum shoutbox? Fluxy, please. Use that partly university educated brain of yours before making ridiculous threads like this in the future... Quote Share this post Link to post
Professor 0 Posted February 5, 2014 Can we do a re-evaluation of the pros and cons of a chat box then? I wanna see what's stopping us from having one besides the extra work for Gazzles. <3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Jak 1,381 Posted February 5, 2014 -Dramatic loss in forum posts (it's quiet as fuck anyway) -Abuse by image posting/spam Quote Share this post Link to post
Fluxy 1,660 Posted February 5, 2014 + im thinking for people who are out and about, say like if im at uni and a want to moan about how bored i am or how shit the caffeteria food is i dont want to make a thread about it, but I also cant go on ts? I cant see why it would be so detremental. If people spam it, it dosent matter? it could be in the side bar, easily ignorable. The threads that would be made would actually be relevent.

Skeff 289 Posted February 5, 2014 tbh shout boxes are awkward to join or pay attention to, hence why using teamspeak is easier, just hurts you're ears when pricks fuzz up their mic or something similar Quote Share this post Link to post
Fluxy 1,660 Posted February 5, 2014 ...sigh I dunno what is so hard about the general point of "if you dont have access to teamspeak deal and shoutbox for idle banter is a good idea" but W.E not fussed if it isent a thing just a suggestion. Quote Share this post Link to post
VENGA BUS 2,027 Posted February 5, 2014 Get Whatsapp. It already fills the niche mate. And then hit up Gaz for an invite to the convo. :) In all other respects, I agree with Jak. Quote Share this post Link to post

Lewis 1,276 Posted February 5, 2014 Who even cares about spam, you waste more time replying to the thread "HELLO SPAM BIN" or "THIS WAS FUCKING POINTLESS" than just thinking to yourself, this thread has a stupid title -> mark forums read. Quote Share this post Link to post
