SS, i personally think that a chatroom or something would be overflooded as far as YCMaker is concerned, so it wouldn't work.

 

Now, despite the fact i think it would be ineffective, a way of Instant Messaging is needed. I had suggested a similar idea before(that of the shoutbox) but it was objected by many, maybe it's not that preferable as we may think.

 

Conclusion: I support but, i don't know, it may not get implemented...

 

Edit: It would be better if we had an IRCroom, more convenient.

You bring up some good points. I don't know whether or not it will be implemented. But a suggestion is just that, a suggestion. Something one says should be done in order to better the place. And that is all that it is, not a demand. =)

Thank you for your support. We'll see wht happens. You never know....

Of course not.

 

Reasons:

•Chatboxes and IM clients are too easy. The quality of chat messages is far below what is expected in a full-on post or PM. However, as members repeatedly use the chat system (for its simplicity and speed), they will become used to typing very quickly and at low quality. The quality of posts and PMs, and therefore the quality of the forum itself, will quickly deteriorate.

•We're a forum, a completely different medium of discussion. Having a chatbox on a forum is like having a newspaper on television.

•People will take discussions to the IM client or chatbox rather than the due section, therefore rendering the mammoth General and Polls sections, along with all three Multimedia secions, completely defunct.
