Third line in my post above:
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

A chatbox is also a form of laziness as the last site proofed that.

Ya...I'm just kicking it around to try to get the best of both worlds.

Oh I hear ya and would like nothing more than to have one here but it just seems that you can't have both no matter what you do. People, including I will get too lazy and not post as with the other site. It took away from the forum and made it more of a instant messenger. If at anytime people won't or need to get a hold of me instant message style, my MSN is listed and I am usually on all day even though I am at work.

We need more kicking. So far I haven't found any plausible solution. The chatbox was pretty cool for conversations and getting to know ur fellow overclocker though.

I did find a hack that allowed for realtime updated of thread views under certain conditions, but, again, viewing this hack on some forums, the good info got buried in the thread and became a chatbox of non-sense.

The only solution would be for everyone to tell someone to take it to the forum and start a thread if someone got too chatty about a problem or something. Other than that we'll just have to do without the shoutbox like we have been.

YEP.....There has to be a way we can use the chatbox.....we just need to think on it and come up with a solution.

It's called Ventrilo.

Tried that too.

:rofl Vent FTW!! That lets the overclockers get to know everybody here and associate a voice with the screen name.
