In the end, I suppose I really don't care, but I've learned from owning Cabs that simple/basic is fantastic. The more clevah shyt you add, the more shyt you have that can stuff up. This place loads and is jumpy intermittently right now, add the spammer bug, and add something else to stuff up like that Chat Box thing is not worth any benefits. Having said that, I'm happy either way.

Re: Add Chat Box to Forum Reply #8 - Jun 24^th, 2015 at 7:09pm Looks like we'll get the feature next time I upgrade, if it is now standard. Can't say I am looking forward to it. It will probably end up being unmoderated and used for endless bitch sessions.

Well I think its not really something that will need modding, actually I am trying out the latest verion of YABB (2.6.11) and others forums, mainly for my techo interest and it isnt standard in that version

Well yes - I thought that's what a chat box would turn into -

a gay chat site.

You don't want that do you?

No - but gay people invade the conversation on Ozpolitic all the time.

I have been in chat rooms before on forums, and they are actually quite civil, I don't mind them. There will probably be a lot of cross conversations going on, who is talking to who, and can be a bit mixed up with replies and who it's meant for, but....I don't reckon any of youse would be able to keep up with me, I type way too fast with all 10 digits, and then having to wait for replies...would send me to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... Grin

.....not that there's anything wrong with being a 2 finger typist
