Shoutboxes are fun!

A lot of us are in the chatroom - just nobody has much to say. ;)
Seconded, I've been twice looking for an interesting discussion. Had one for a few minutes, but mostly the posts are... well... to put a fine point on it... stupid. That's a little surprising considering what is posted elsewhere. ;)

Based on the meaty analysis here, a shoutbox doesn't seem like a good use of resources to me.

shout boxes are always filled with crap like:
u iz dabomb!!!!!!!1!!!11

in short, they are a terrible idea and they are outlets for spammers.

there aren't too many people like that on CFC, so we wouldn't see much l33t talk
 
We're working on a few javascript games right now. I'd be willing to release a few for use in an arcade. (Note: I'm not actually programming on any of these games, so you'd have to talk to the programmer about integrating them into the site, i.e. with highscore tables and stuff.)

Ah, but guests can't be banned. This is assuming that it is put on the index like Perfection suggested. (unless if a Members only feature is implemented on it)
It's always members only. It's just a little thing that allows one to post the occasional message, and you could always make it so that you could only shout once every 5 minutes or even longer.

A little bad history with a certain shoutbox? :ack:

Bolter... Tell him the shoutbox password he used was too easy to guess. I got it in 3 tries. Thus, I helped him mod the thing. :p

I would rather install an arcade (that allows peope to play flash games and logs the scores) than a Shoutbox. :)

AMEN to that...please do...I'll pay you...in fact...I'll give you all of the profits of my first book (link in my sig). :mischief:

How old are you? You must be either near death or very young to give away money like that....:hmm:

Be 20 in August...and I'm generous with my money...

but don't fool yourself...look at the price of the book...and look at the sales rank ;)

Edit:
I will neither confirm nor deny Perfections claim... ;) Course...if Perfection would do what he said... :mischief:

I'm greddy with my money. I've made nearly $2000 since March. I've got about $200 left. :p

Hey, money is money. :D :p

I'm going to guess Perfection is right on this one.
 
I'm guessing Moss is going to lose money on the book, and just want's TF to cover the costs :p
 
Nope...can't lose money on the book...only gain...

but back on topic

Shoutboxes are kinda too chatish for me on the forum...I won't repeat what others have said.

Arcades though... :)
