Demitri Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Well to be honest when we update our status, its basically its own shoutbox. Plus this group likes to chat. Also I've seen at other forums people having full on conversations in the shoutbox and it can become pointless and take away from posting (sometimes). Then You dont want brand new members to come and request in it,then after they request they never come back,and thus will defeat the point of having the request station(though if the box were a the bottom MAYBE it could work but who would scroll all the way down to shout?) If you are trying to save 10 bucks shoutbox,otherwise I say chat stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryon Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Excellent point Genesis. Do you recall when we had the Xat chat? Everyone would linger on the board index, and rarely post in any of the topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightFlare_Da_Realest Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm never in there, but I would say the chatroom. Based on the two lists above, the chatroom just sounds better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Spirit Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hm...They both have their strong points and as stated before Shoutboxes and Chatrooms can remove posting as I only see some users in the chatroom but they have 23 posts overall but I would have to say chatroom.

Sir Lord Alpyne Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 chatroom makes more sense, just from tha logic alone which Genesis stated earlier. i myself usually overlook "traditional" shoutboxes, they always seem like clutter to me. tha status update we have here tho is much better, due to how it's set up. everything here is an option, a path if you will, to branch off into further if 1 so wishes, instead of it bein' shoved in your face so to speak, & that's klassy. & i remember Xat, couldn't stand that shit at all, lol.
