What about a chat room

[phil_hg_uk]

Just and idea but some of the other forums I go on have a chat feature, for example one of them has a Shoutbox at the bottom of the forum home page where members can just chat like in a chat room.

I'm surprised there isn't one already, tbh.

ohh, a small chatroom would be nice actually!! Sometimes you just want to post a short message that doesn't really warrant a thread, but would still like to post.

Thats exactly what I meant.

I don't do chat rooms

I'll copy this thread into my to-do forum ...

Excellent- the insult-traders' chat would over-heat... funny though!

but with proper software not that crap sort that just keeps refreshing html.

What about moderation? Or do you envisage a free-for-all?

As an example one of the forums I used to go on is this one -> http://www.heliguy.com/Forum/ if you look for the shoutbox near the bottom of the page.

Admin, if you do this, could it please not be a crappy web-based chat thing? (wot bonj said!)

Cyclechat IRC (or XMPP) would be great!

Isn't that what the Tea thread is all about?

Well, for those of us who indulge, yes....

I was thinking that...

I've installed one: http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/misc.php?do=cchatbox

There a mini version on the bottom of the home page, and this bigger version is linked from the navigation bar.

30 days worth of chat content is recorded in a database - so please don't abuse it, as you may lose chat/forum priviledges.

Let me know if there are any problems with it.

Cheers,
Shaun
