Chatbox?

Postby [NH]Shadow » Sun Aug 11, 2013 12:56 am

Could the forum admins put a chatbox on the forum for live chat? That would be really cool. It would be under Adminstration Panel>Modules>Chatbox. I can see your reasons for not doing it, such as the difficulty of live chat moderating. But, it has chat archives for everybody, moderators included, who can, if something inappropriate is posted, just use the /cls command. That would be really cool. Thanks for reading.

But that would entail having to 'listen' to all the whining, vs just 'reading' it.

I think he means where people can write chat live instead of having to create a thread. JOG has it, but they mainly use it for setting up clan matches and such.

Ohhhh. Like xFire. So you can read the whining 'Live' vs reading it at your leisure. Got it.

Personally, I would rather 'play' the game and hope to catch a douche bag player breaking the rules vs chat boxing while playing. Hell, my own Mother is lucky to hear from me once per week. Not personal, it's just that I absolutely suck at real time communication.

I don't think the person that would make that decision is available. Hold that thought.

The NH forum has a live chat, as does the JOG forum. It's not hard to configure, and it's typed, not audio.

I actually think a chat box would work quite well. But I don't think that it will be implemented because, as Panama says, MC's not available at the moment.

anybody with administrator access to the forum can do it. i can post steps to censoring words and setting it up. if you want to run a test, you can come to the NH forum, and see our chatbox.
