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?

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. :D

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

I didn't know that, thanks for informing me though :D
 
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! :p
