Sorry if this has been posted before. I had been looking for it for quite a while now. Why doesn't the forum have a VBulletin chat option? I think this would be a great way for forum users to communicate and get to know each other a lot better!
do you mean like a shout box? We tried that out not so long ago and it wasn't a big success. Don't think it's a good idea personally

I would like this to happen aswell, however the maturity of some users will always abuse and spoil it.

We did trial a shoutbox but it just didn't work out. There was just too many people posting in it and it became impossible to keep on top of. You can always communicate with other forum members via visitor messages of private messages though. :)

It was quite difficult to moderate xD

Let's just keep posting on the actual forum in threads instead of chatting on a chatbox. You can chat on other services though such as: MSN, Skype, Facebook, twitter and Habbo.

Oh the shoutbox, didn't a load of people start posting images in it when it became available? Or did I just dream this.
I wouldn't mind a shoutbox (minus the images, inc. filtering etc.) but as people have said, Spam/VMs/PMs are already there so it eliminates the need for it :P

Honestly it isn't worth the hassle :P Like I said, posts were being made at such a rate that no one could keep up. It was just a free for all. :P
