Site Chatroom

Implement a chatroom into this site.. it might help to limit the spam. This way, casual chat can be had in the chatroom, and not in the forums. I've seen them on forums before. Look into it.

That's what OddChat is.

But as much as everyone would like OddChat to be a great place to go, the sad truth is that it's fallen into disrepair repeatedly because nobody ever goes there.

Ohhh.. well in that case, it would be a good idea to have a chatroom as part of the forum.. that way, if you're logged in to the forum, you are also logged into the chatroom. You know like how facebook chat works? Like that.

I'm sure i've seen forums using this concept.

Or, you know, that would be freaking irritating. Suddenly everyone would change their settings to be invisible.

I'm pretty sure we're all thinking the same thing right now. It doesn't need to be said.


Am I starting a meme here?

Your idea is somewhat academic. There are only two people who implement such a thing, and we aren't them.

And seeing as vBulletin doesn't support such a feature, it's academic even to them.

Yeh, why not use chatango and put it at the bottom of the page.

EDIT: I can see less spam this way, what with the more traffic we will receive when the new stuff goes up.

Yea, exactly, go on. The chat will stay dead if no one decides to go there. Besides, right now two people are on the chat, including me. If more people went on the chat right now, it would probably be pretty active.

(Pilot) There's like a 5 minute pause between teh two
(Alf) Oh.
(Pilot) so a disjointed 'buh' just pops up like 5 minutes later, after you've moved onto other topics of conversations. Or in the utter silence that's certain to follow.
(SektoSprings) Yeah

(Pilot) Call Gay
(MeechCrunchies) Buh

(Pilot) "You don't say..."
(SektoSprings) My Ronaldphone ony calls ronald
(Pilot) "You don't say!"
(SektoSprings) and I dont want him here right now
(Pilot) "YOU DON"T SAY!"
(Pilot) Ronald, who was it?
(Alf) Uh
(Pilot) He didn't say.
(SektoSprings) Haw haw haw
(Alf) Har har
(Pilot) Ronald makes it... Magic!
(Pilot) Are you guys too young to remember that commercial
(Pilot) THE STUPID HAPPYPHONE
(Pilot) GRR
(Pilot) I HATED THAT SO MUCH
(Pilot) HAPPY HAPPY
(SektoSprings) Hahaha
(SektoSprings) I remember it
(Pilot) IT JUST HAS THE OPPOSITE EFFECT
(Pilot) GRR!
(Alf) I see
(Pilot) It wasn't just that, the 'happy happy' ring was like a hyperactive klown voice
(Pilot) DUMB!
(Pilot) Let me see if I can find it.
(SektoSprings) So Alf
(SektoSprings) Whats up
(Alf) Just talking to you guys

Better to have too much Java and not need it, instead of not having Java and need it.

Completely ignoring ofcourse that it doesn't work half the fucking time.

It doesn't work for me, but I'm at uni and most of the ports are blocked. Is that possible for you too, Havoc?
