Chat system for HXF like facebook

[lick]

I'm not really sure how this works, do you mean exactly like on facebook? I always appear offline on chat 'cause I get annoyed with people talking to me I don't even think the friend feature is ever used because it's pointless and I doubt people would start adding others as friends just to use the chat when they could easily, like Jake said, pm them. If you could appear offline on it that'd be good cause I wouldn't want it

Just like the chat that used to be used (very rarely, this IM will probably turn out the same..) it would be really hard to monitor what the users were saying on these chats, it could be used to bully or break any kind of rules I guess. The chat failed so I can't really see this happening, infact I'd rather the chat because it meant you could talk to many people rather than just the one but yeah that was a failure.

I wouldn't really mind aslong as I could appear offline on it

Like Habboxforum MSN

If you look on the demo you can appear offline

It's a good idea but also very pointless.

If I want to have a 1 on 1 with someone, I'd post on their profile page.

They'd then get the notification and reply, simple really.

[Immenseman]

yeah, two really good points from jen and josh too.

we have profiles for 1v1 chats
rule breaking

I think the negatives out weight the positives for introducing such a chat.

Sorry but we're not buying anything

Sorry but we're not buying anything

lol, well that's that one sorted

The server would probably collapse, we don't have a shoutbox because it's too resource intensive, and this would be the same but worse I imagine.

[Remote]

I like this idea, looks like a big task though.

As already said, if you wanna talk to someone 1-1 just ask for their msn.
Also you could always PM/ leave vistor messages

Aww wow, that would be so good to have I'd love it.

The chat thing we have now is too big and out of place tbh, you also have to enter it the chat room etc to talk, and you can only talk to people that are in the chat too.

With this you can talk to all your friends or all members of the forum with ease without them having to enter the chat, but only be online.
I could see this being really popular .

May I also add, if you wish to talk to someone 1 on 1, suggesting giving out your msn isn't exactly ideal, because firstly it can be a safety threat, as i've found out in the past, and it can also be effort aswell. It wouldn't ruin the forum or take up any pointless space having the chat. It can only be a good thing really.
