What if we had a live chat box? That way we can talk to people without having to get all the topics covered with spam about random crap and getting them locked. Just throwing that out there. Sorry if suggested before.

It's my personal belief that spam doesn't come from the lack of communication solutions.

Spam comes from people being bored, or there being a chat forum that has 'low to no topic' rules.
Spam comes from people wanting to destroy a topic, or annoy posters.
Spam comes from trolls, and porn bots.

As for things getting locked - that's people ignoring our E for Everyone code of conduct, and ignoring mod requests.  I can't think of anything that'll change people that don't want to change, are too young or inexperienced online to deal with community conversations and basic manners.

Anyone that wants solutions usually doesn't spam a thread from what I've seen anyway, they find the right one or two threads and ask for what to do, ya know?


Anyway - we have webchat guys, it's right off the front page and has been for a long time.

Seriously? Where *goes to look* HOLY MACKEREL, I totally forgot about the IRC.

Dang, can't connect, most likely because of work proxy.

Haha yeah, I saw this topic so I decided to go look for it.  I saw you were in it, but I didn't know if you were there or not.

Oh I finally found it. Was it small enough? Well I tried it, but its not really what I meant. I dont want to have to open up a whole new page to talk on it. I meant like a box somewhere on the site where everyone (members and guest) can just talk and then also keep up to date on post in topics.

No, it could be alot smaller.  Alot.

As for 'new windows' I don't understand why you would need something embedded when you can have it up and alt tab - have another window - etc.  I'm not going to embed a third party solution into the site where it could break later.  For something that people don't even USE, or notice as you've pointed out, there is no logical reason to confuse and potentially scare people away from that site erroring, and messing up OKgamers.

If you have Trillian - or any IRC client, you can have it running.  If you don't, we've gone with a in-browser solution as well.  All parties are served.
