To be fair, a chat feature has one advantage; users will be able to chat to each other quickly and easily. On the other hand it has countless disadvantages; security risks, extra work for admins and moderators, probable risk of people abuisng it (I imagine much more than actual constructive conversations), and relatively few using it rendering it pointless anyway.

So there is literally no point. I do agree that the existing thing be gotten rid of because quite frankly, it's just a piss take :P.

Again, all issues that would not exist within the irc option :)

Maybe admins want to know which users are saying what to prevent bullying, etc?

Just mod it as a separate entity, someone on irc doesn't behave, they get kicked from irc. Maybe add a profile option where people can list there registered nick on a server if people are worried about identy issues. Other than that a simple disclaimer that people may not being useing the same name they do on the forum is all thats really needed o.o

I agree with Mentor fully
ps use Mibbit as the IRC client!

Also you could use an IRC bot for filtering, auto ban for repetitive rule breaking e.t.c.

Inferno was just the idea, but since it won't work, we have one that will.

Running a bot would be an idea, though does mean habbox have to host it somewhere which is a little extra overhead.

Would make catching badwords etc alot easier though :)

Depending on commands ect. is weather it would keep admins busy..

Moderators should be able to do:
~ Ban
~ Prune

And lots of people would like to work on the forum so you could hire shoutbox moderators
:)

the current chat suddenly works for me now :/

jin probably fixed it to shut everyone up
