ChatBox Good / Bad Poll

[HenrikOlsson]

Hi Lester,

Well, I've already voted against the chat but since you asked I'm fine with it being removed. Even if you decide to keep it please remove that gigant messagebox about voting.

Originally, my idea was to have a pop up window, with the fiends I added inside it, by the time I enter to the site.
As soon as or if any of them is online, the window would pop up and I could privately chat with my friends. No log, nothing. Simple small tiny chat box.
When I leave the site, the pop up window closes, and I appear offline.

I gave the chat a go a few days ago, and I watched it for about half an hour and it never changed, it was just refreshing, I think no one is using it.

Would it be possible to have a one to one chat app perhaps ?, where one user could invite another to discuss something in a pop-up window maybe.

Please turn the Chat off. Thanks for giving it a good try.

I was just reading some of the opinions and chatter about this subject and wondered to myself if this might be a better idea...

instead of asking people if they like it (because everyone will have a diffrent reply), why don't the admins just let it run and then look at the stats in a couple of months time to see if its being used enough to justify its existence...

if it is being used a lot keep it, if its not used much kill it!.

Is that a too simplistic a view, I dunno ?.

Lester,

Is that annoying nag message about this really still necessary after several months?

[lester]

Bruce, probably not. I've turned it off.

However it was a non persistent message that should show only once per visit and you could dismiss it. Once dismissed it should not show up again....so long as you keep your cookies.

Anyway, its gone now....unlike the chat box, which has gained new life since i suggested removing it!!!
