Chat

Not all 82 members would use the shoutbox.
It's true about taking the direction away from the forum and into the shoutbox though I suppose but that'd be the same for every member, newbie or not. Pointless having it in the end really :)

Or you could have multiple shoutbox, which anyone can join, but special ones become available the higher ranked you are? Some websites do this I think, a shoutbox for anyone, then when you reach a certain rank a new one is revealed which you can join (most probably will as it is less scattered) then up and up and up till you get a special one.

Is there not a way to have more than one shoutbox?

Can't we just create a wave on google wave to use as a chatroom?

The other issue is that newer members will be distracted by the forum itself and only use the shoutbox - which we do not want.

What about the rest of the thread where we talked about opening it up to certain ranks only? :P

I think that's his point?

Apologies for my slow reply to this thread, it has took me almost a week to come to terms with the diabolical decision to remove the chat. Above all I am disgusting by the decision by the management to remove the Chat. It was obviously the core of the community, and without it I can't see HabboxForum lasting much longer, frankly the forum has got off lightly if it still has people going on it by the end of next week.

Clearly by the sheer number of threads in Habbox Feedback begging for the Chat to return and the harsh posts from members within this thread, there is clear support to bring it back.

Why weren't we consulted, there wasn't even a poll? Perhaps the management need changing around as I would rank this decision up there with the sacking of Catzsy and changes to the reputation system.

Btw the Facebook group to bring it back and petition will be up shortly.
