It's being discussed. Honestly it kinda makes people lazy (intentionaly or not). Alot of great imformation is lost in the chatbox.

Still tossin off to this idea, I liked when members used it for socializing and comradory so its still being discussed. Honestly, due to the fact that we're heavily screening new members and utilizing the invite only basis, it shouldnt be too hard to get the idea of directing tech related info into the threads done.

We shall see.

If we would have added a instant messenger 3/4 the posts that have been posted in the last few days would not have been posted due to people just hanging out in the messenger. Oh it is fun but the negatives out way the positives.

The chatbox idea is dead for now, it may be added at a later time specifically for the gaming section when game servers, server admins and gamers have developed.

My opinion on this is that at the very least, we all have instant messenger proggies to use. If the shit hits the fan on your system that badly, one of us will gladly jump on a messenger proggie to help you out.

if possible have a number of shouts in a day or hour just limit them so a whole trouble shoot discussion is inconvenient. Or even limited on characters idk just some suggestions.

I would like to have some form of a chatbox. I'm not sure how to use one without losing good information though. On the other hand, a lot of forums end up looking like chatboxes, where the good info is buried under page after page of comments and conversation. This is a problem as difficult to deal with as the loss of information to a chatbox.

Real time help can be very valuable to someone with a problem. A chat box is a nice way to get help. Not having one sends people to messenger and the likes where the info will never be seen again.

Perhaps having a way to save chatbox conversations for future reference is a solution. If chatbox conversations were kept for a longer period of time then the important parts could be saved and the crap deleted.....that would require constant reviewing by someone and poses yet another problem.

Maybe if we kick this around enough we will come up with a good solution.
