Chatbox?

Just a suggestion, (I don't know if there already is one) but I think this forum would be even better with a chatbox. Then users can socialize, and get to know each other better. Just suggesting.

 

There's an IRC for that.

 

Ah. Link?

 

We have one.
It's called a forum.

I kid, but you should probably define "chatbox."
Do you mean like a mini chat?
If so, we have an IRC channel.
Go to http://www.esper.net/publicirc.php/ and type in "#curlybrace" to the bar on the page.
A channel operator should give you a voice, I recommend making your username your username here.

 

I mean a chatbox to have every just talk with no topic. But thanks.

 

You mean like one of those little shout-out boxes on the side of some forums?

Just random messages to brighten your day/spam. There isn't really a chat aspect to it.

 

Well this topic is useless now. my question is answered.

 

Nah. IRC is a different concept. I think it'd be kinda cool to have a chatbox here.

 

Hm...Well my forum (Made with forumotion) is always active in the chatbox. Though we only have around 30 members.

 

It would have to be something that is actually like, implementable with vBulletin.

I guess I was going to elaborate more but I forget so my answer is no.

 

I have never seen a vBulletin forum with a chatbox, so I'm not sure if vBulletin supports it.
It would be cool if we could implement one o:

 

Problem solved.

 

It is possible. The forum in which I was a mod had a chatbox in it.

 

You can't 'socialise' in a chatbox :|

EDIT: No I wasn't

Why not?

edit: oh, you were referring to the misspelling lol

@CF: I think the idea of a chatbox is not so much that it's off topic, but that it's real-time, which the SPOT is not (lololol rhyme). But, as has already been stated, there's an IRC for that.

Am I correct in thinking that a "chatbox" is like that thing on Facebook in the lower right corner of the screen?

 

You can socialise in the UK (and Australia, I think)!

No, you leave messages on a chatbox that everyone can see and reply to. You know, exactly like a thread. And not all chatboxes update in real time, so one might have to refresh it anyway. Exactly like a thread. The only difference is that a thread doesn't make the forum look incredibly tacky, like it's fucking MySpace or something.

 

Lol what`s the fuss about the chatbox. Even I - a huge noob - made a fully functional, decently looking forum for [SiN] clan at Alien Arena, where having a chatbox was only an option to set (I didn`t enable it since we had our private clan IRC anyway). The point of the above is that it`s easy (at least at phpBB at forumer it was easy), if you want it - do it, if you don`t want it - forget it.

 

Personally, I think it would be a lovely idea to put a Chat of some sort in this site, I believe it'd allow others to speak with each other more freely, and much quicker.
