Chat box/Shoutbox

Install a chat-box, or shoutbox. Just throw it up to look similar to a banner at the top of the page or something, and just throw the refresh as every 30 seconds or something. I think it'd be a cool little feature that could be implemented to par some side discussions that are on the fly. (this feature would be IDEAL for Zelaron Multiplayer games).

The other boards that I surf have this link underneath the "ShoutOut" box.

I think it'd be a cool idea, just an opinion though I know it's been discussed before.

Does Zelaron have an IRC channel anywhere, while we're on the subject?

I like IRC far better than shoutboxes.

Channel: #zelaron

Yep. I'm always there, usually being a Master Idler.

But y'all should seriously make me a perma-op there. That way I can set the topic and make it look like we have occasional activity. <3

A chatbox / shoutbox sounds like a good ideal. I had one on my forum at one point and I could talk directly with people at that moment.

That's why I think everyone would enjoy it, just a live, real-time box like a chatbox where people wouldn't have to directly use a new post in a thread to communicate.

It's only a few days old, so now, does everyone feel it's somewhat successful? I'm very happy that WW is stepping up and even takign it upon himself to imrpove and add new instllations of the shoutbox, Bravo!

It was a success, and WW is even building the new Chatbox. I think everyone agrees that the Shoutbox/Chatbox is a great add on to the site.

Please change the chatbox back to the orignal state that it was introduced as.

The only differences between the original chatbox and the current one are communication optimizations and the recent threads. Exactly what problem are you having?

I don't want another window to popup when I just want to chat, I already have like 10 windows at work, the less the best. And I really think it's just becoming too integrated, the shotubox is just for people bored that want to text, not open another window and only text, but even with the integration it's just almost reverting back to how Zelaron started off with the shoutbox, lol.
