Forum Chat Option

[Johnathan]

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

brought up very frequently, and that's what the spam forum is for tbf.

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
