You can limit the nubmer of posts a second etc.
Noone uses the current chat and you have to enter it before you can type. With the chat at the top, you can simply just type in there, and it wouldn't be really spammed, it would just be quick and simple chats between members, as other people would use the forums aswell. It could cause less legs because posts may decrease slightly, but not no way in a significant way.
Everyone is assuming it will be a bad idea, but I think if it's trialed, we could then base our judgements and opinions on that and then decided whether or not to keep it using a public poll.
In summary: ew. This has been suggested times over and it's been rejected every single time. It will lag, it will be a fountain of rule breaking and it defeats the object of a forum in my opinion.
over and out.
No thanks, I don't like this idea... I see this on other forums and I really dislike it :(
It makes the forum lag especially on a forum on this scale everyone will be on there, take the spam section for example I don't think you can go 5 mins without a new thread, they'll turn into the "Chatbox Crew" :P
