mff created chatbox

I remember the old chatbox. It was fun, quick, and there weren't any rules(well, just common sense ones. no porn, no advertising, and no large amounts of spam.)

It got taken down because of ads. But, I read in the "Rive as Main admin" topic that we could get a MFF created chatbox. So I think we should get one. Smile  So, yeah, vote yes or no.

I think it's a good idea. They had one on another forum I was on. Only problem was, some members hated each other and only used it for flaming.
Darth Samuel

I did that with anakin. I went under his name and was like" I'm stupid" and he would go under my name and go "I suck and am a retard." It was quite funny.

Funny: I used to type that sort of stuff on my own name in the chatbox.....  Laughing
Anakin

I vote only yes because perhaps it will cause the recent spamming on the forum threads to actually cease.
Lord Vexen

No, because everytime I had the chatbox, the page would open, then all Safari would close...and I had to use another computer.
Darth Samuel

Seriously Vexen, it's called firefox. There's no valid reason for you NOT to get it. It will even make your internet FASTER. Very Happy

It depends on if he's using Safari for Windows or Safari for Mac.

Safari for Mac integrates the Mac's "Smooth Scrolling" mechanism (which is really good compared to Window's smooth scrolling). Firefox for Mac does not (maybe an add-on can do it?). That's why I usually use Safari when I'm on my Mac side.
Darth Samuel

Anyway, Rive would a mff created chatbox work? as in there is one that we could use?
Rive Caedo

We are getting more simultaneous logins again (I saw 9 or 10 last night) to perhaps justify it...

I don't know though. The chat thread seems to be doing a fine job...

Chat box:

Pros:
Allows limited communication without logging in.
(Perhaps) reduces "spam" in threads besides the chat thread we've seen in the past few days.

Cons:
Makes the page load slower (this is a big one for me - I log in from many different connection types).
Allows for the previously mentioned flamefests.
Will almost certainly reduce the amount of posts in the chat thread. Leading to lower ranking on the MFF top forums list. (Minor issue, since it doesn't really seem to bring in new members).

Adding a chatbox is a horrible idea. The problem is, it starts to slowly but surely take away from the forum. Instead of talking about SW, games, books , etc on the forum, you begin to talk about them on the chatbox. So while that flourishes, the forum will steadily die down because people don't feel like taking the time to start topics because they feel the chatbox is much more convenient. Who wants to join a dead forum anyway? Keep the chatbox out, it's called PM's for a reason.
Lord Invictus

Stoooooopid idea. It has no point apart from annoying nonsense posts.
Jiub

I voted no. It is easier to keep track of what is going on and what people are talking about when you keep it to the chat thread.
Lord Invictus

I made what? Three posts in chat thread, then gave up. It's boring.
Anakin

OOOOOooh, its 50/50. We need a tie-breaker here!
Darth Minious

Just bumping this, I still think this was a good idea. I miss the chat box.
Xander Vos

Plus now there's a vote of 7-6!
Lord Vexen

I still vote against this because I am unable to access the site with the chatbox here...

Lolz You aussie.


I say yes. Vexen should get firefox. Sam wonders how Vexen could access the site when there was a chatbox.
Sirak Sazen

I don't really care. I'd never use it anyway.  Razz
Darth Samuel

vote yes or your a newbie.
Sirak Sazen

Such language.
Aequitas

Last time there was a chatbox, it was nigh impossible to use the site. Both on IE and Firefox. It slowed it down incredibly.
Xander Vos

Not for me...
Darth Samuel

nor me for when it was. And that was a different chatbox. this one is one created by mff, so it shouldn't be too much of a burden. The other one was a third party chatbox, which is why there were popups.
princessleia

sure why not don't see the harm it having a chatbox
Darth Samuel

Haha! a large majority! sorta.
princessleia

haahaaa...you are funny darth samuel...

Please stop making posts like this.
Darth Samuel

Damn! 10-7! That's pretty convincing, even without Minious' vote.(though thanks.)
Xander Vos

No problem bro.
Darth Samuel

Oh. Only two years ago I wanted to strangle you through my computer monitor. Boy, how things have changed.


Razz Laughing
Xander Vos

Two years is a long time on the internet. It's like 1 human year is 10 computer years.

Which means that 1 computer year is 0.7 dog years.

Hmm... interesting.
Crozeus

So computer dogs get younger...
Darth Samuel

They've discovered the secret!
Lord Embeion

What is this non sense! A MFF Chatbox? hrmm I shall investigate

The original was taken off due to ya pop-ups or something.

Ooh how I used to hate Xander with a passion  Smilie_PDT
Xander Vos

I remember making some sort of heavy-handed Yank attack on you at some point and you blocked me on msn.
Darth Samuel

Ugh, you aussie nerf herder. You wanna go?
Dakoth

So back on topic, What have you uncovered my good Embeion

I'd take you any day of the week.
Darth Samuel

Dammit. Censors will screw this over. Let's take it to msn and copypaste the results here.
Xander Vos

Bring it.
Darth Samuel

this was brought up in the cbox by SaV I think like a week ago. And I wanted to in force that.I don't think it's right to have inappropriate and immature names such as cow urine, and there were some others that I forgot. And I also believe that the cbox is used for general discussion not saying stuff like CAT PISS! like some people did. All I am asking is for that to put an end to.


This is all I have to say.
Darth Samuel

most of those members are gone now. -_-
Io Lee

Nope I believe you were one of them.
Sirak Sazen

He said most. Xander, were you once known as Leon Sparrow?

Uh, weren't you? And I never said Cat piss. I jsut used someone else's name and said things Like I'm Stupid and an idiot.

I was the one who brought up the immaturity on the c-box over a year ago. I thought you were one of them.

I'm just afraid this stuff will happen again and don't think it would be right for the site.
