Bringing a chat box

[Edward ST]

Hello, MT! I want to give a suggestion of improving this forum - bringing a chat box.
This may be an useful idea because we can talk more about security and other things such like this, in live mode.
What do you say about this?

Good idea - although I'm sure Jack and crew have already thought about it. I think the biggest problem with it would be its impact on the server load.

 

[Edward ST]

I do not think that a chat box could have a big impact. I mean, they canuse XAT or Chatango or any "softy" like this.

I'd love to have one.

Try Jappix Mini Chat!
Jappix Mini is an incredible mini-chat for your website.

This would be nice.

We had a chat box before on our previous forum but we had no way to moderate it. It was basically only used to post spam.
Probably the main reason Jack did not add it to our new forum.

Enjoy!!

@Littlebits - These forums could be upgraded to IPBboard and then we could have a chat that can be moderated (Kick, ban, ect)

They were recently upgraded to Xenforo... Do you think MT wants to pay for another forum software?

Who said that it had to be paid

Do you want us to use a nulled version?

If they don't want to pay then I guess you could use nulled version...

Jack has already paid for Xenforo and the Staff have spent a lot of time working out problems and getting familiar with the changes , do you want to be the one to ask Jack to loose his money and the Members to go through all of this again just for a chat box that was basically only used to spam the forums?

Thanks.

Sorry, it's illegal.

I don't really want a chatbox, but I think it would be nice to have one without spam.

Sorry, it's illegal.

I didn't know that, thanks for informing me though

shoutbox = spam issues = i dont have time to kick the endless spammers, i have better things to do

Xenforo is a much better platform shoutbox or no shoutbox. I don't see how changing forum platforms for a shoutbox is even a viable option,since Xenforo has a shoutbox. Besides the spammer issues there also comes other problems.

I want this.
For the moderation just need to get chat moderator, or use actually moderator.
I know a 400k community with a chat and they have moderator and some member for say "No spamming"...

It is a nice thing to have if it isn't abused but more often than not this is not the case.We have enough staff members to moderate it but even with a designated chatbox moderator(isn't going to be on 24/7)there still will be issues.Moderating the forums has been taxing the staff lately so I would say it isn't on the top of the priority list.

We could have xat. It's the most used chat box.
So, will we have a chat box?

EDIT:
I have created an XAT group chat here: http://xat.com/malwaretips_mt.
Password is: MalwareTips (if needed)
I wanted to put the ”unofficial” term but it's reserved in XAT. If anything is bad, report to me I will delete the chat group.
Have fun!
