Chat system for HXF like facebook

[GoldenMerc]

Shoutbox's have changed since Habbox had one, they are still really bad for bandwidth but they are starting to develop better, like some allow you to have to manually refresh to see whats happning, some make you "inactive" on the shoutbox untill you click "I AM ACTIVE". I really think Habbox should consider again, ALTHOUGH with Habbox's population the shoutbox would proberly be over filled ect...
Maybe a shoutbox for a certain user group like the sapphire usergroup ectt?

I'd hate to see a shoutbox on HxF. They are OK for smaller more community based forums. I know loads of bigger forums have them but I don't think it'd bring anything to HxF. In fact, it'd probably do the opposite and take things away.

I use the HxHD to chat

but on the other hand it would be a nice treat, ORRRR
what about once every week for a couple of hours we have a shoutbox activated (A)

[Immenseman]

i don't think people would even want one though so not much of a treat, more of a punishment.

You would only be able to chat to who you want though, you'd add them.

i have the whole forum to chat to people and an apt PM function.

TBF it is only like 40-50 quid plus upgrades for a year which is pretty cheap compared to the chatbox they first bought. I like it myself...

Oh wait, you have to buy a single license and then the unbranded license, yowch that's pricey actually. For what its worth, it'd be nice on social networks but for HabboxForum it may not be needed. I think it's a cool little thing like, but yeah... ouch.

Why have a chat system though if we have a) A forum (big one at that) and b) IM clients which I know people on this forum contact each other by (I don't personally).

If we had a shoutbox at the top, noone would be able to read anything as too many people would be posting at once and noone would get a reply tbh, lol.
