Hey guys,
I know I'm not a site admin I just wanna help out There is an ongoing debate about an open chat box on the site. We all know what it is, it's basically a shoutbox where all the online users can say things and try to have a conversation. Some of you are against it, and I totally understand why.
The main reasons against an open chat box:
1. It would make the site work slower, no matter what. Another thing that can crash the site.
2. It's hard to have a conversation in an openbox chat cause most of the users will only say Hello to see if anyone's actually watching it. If not they will leave. So after a day you're gonna have like 233 hellos and 199 his.
3. It's hard to moderate an open chat box, there is not much you can do to ban users and delete comments. It's very vulnerable to attacks, floods and spams.
Now here is what I have in mind:
Most of you know what IRC is. It's a chat protocol that can be used with certain softwares, the most popular one is mIRC on windows. It's very advanced compared to an open chat box, can be moderated extremely well and you can actually see who is online. The moderators of this board can join the channel and get OPs so they can moderate that too. It is possible to mute/kick/kickban users, get flood protection and everything that makes online communications so pleasant and yummy, like a freshly baked pie.
The question is: Do you guys want an IRC channel where we can talk and help each other? (And possibly kick newbies for asking for cccam servers )
I've already created a channel on Quakenet, it's a very reliable IRC network.
As long as there are no moderators from this I am going to moderate the channel and IT IS AN UNOFFICIAL CHANNEL! As soon as mods join it and say it's cool, it can be an official channel! It's really just up to the mods and Mr. Satlover! (But since he is busy, I guess it's up to the mods)
