[idea] Forum chat box

Ive actually seen this on other forums it works really good
This chat box lets you see new threads posted mute un mute players and a lot more
I was thinking you guys [owners and peoples xD] should consider putting this on the forum
its just an idea. You can find it here



Thanks!

This has been bought up time after time and its been declined for the same reasons, i think its mostly because of security, plus it will have to be closely moderated.

spam essentially does that job for the forum so a chat box would deffo be unnecessary.

We did have a chat box that cost quite a lot of money and it was like a graveyard and removed but maybe this is a different one. :)

I don't mean to shoot you down but why?

In the past there was one, it wasn't used. If a chat box is introduced they might as well close the forum and just have a chat box. My point is a chat box does exactly what the forum does, the only difference is one is live the other isn't.


I don't want one, I don't know about the rest but it's just pointless. It's a forum not msn.

Bad idea, introducing a shoutbox would distract people from posting around the forum and would also need to be moderated 24/7.

People wouldn't really post around on the forum so I feel it wouldn't be useful and would benefit for Habbox.

There are a few reasons why we won't be getting a chat box, it would be difficult for us to moderate, I believe security of the forum is an issue too and also personally I don't think one is needed. The spam forum is practically a chat box where you can talk about random things, what are threads for if not for discussing things? If you want to talk about random things then simple, post a thread in spam and you can chat away!
