Discussion Thread II: Bots? What bots?

[Hong]

Apparently tall people make for epic mounts.

Sitting back and goofing around... (procrastinating)... and I was wondering...
would you guys be interested in me installing a shoutbox or something on the forums? I found one that looked pretty decent, but I don't wanna go to the trouble if you guys don't think you'd use it.

here's the one I found that seemed interesting.

I dunno. I only went to one forums that ever had an active shoutbox. *shrugs* meh, just a random thought.

[zamisk]

I'd be fine with it, as long as it is in the corner or somewhere not obnoxious.

Well, the idea is it's a chatbox. I dunno if it can be toggled closed or open, but I could put it down on the bottom. It's more customary to have it at or near the top, though. *shrugs* I dunno what functions it has and what sort of options I would have.

What Zamisk and Zeta said.

[Reynard-Miri]

I would personally advise against having a shoutbox. They're really only useful if people are being adverse to posting. We... we don't really have that problem, do we? >_>"

[Maxine MagicFox]

the one forums that I went on that it was actually successful, it was more or less a "chatroom" for when members were on and wanted to chat, otherwise the forums were used. *shrugs* As I said, it was a random idea. Me procrastinating and doing totally random stuffs on the internet.

As I said, even I've only seen it successfully implemented ONCE.

[zamisk]

I think having it at the bottom would be fine, but I'd mostly use it to be a moron and say stupid things, just so you know now...

[Kimiko]

I don't think we need a shoutbox. We're chatty enough already. IME most shoutboxes are used as substitute forums, so that would be pretty useless on a lively forum.

^ I've used one. It ends up being used instead of posting.

[Kinofail]

I have no opinion.

Also I'm at work and my password is stored on my laptop and, apparently, nowhere else. I need to remedy that before kinofail steals anymore off my post count.
