RE: Forum Suggestion - Chat box

And having people ask the same questions again and again, because the answer goes away after a while. This may be nicer (quicker) for the person asking the question assuming someone's actually paying attention to it, but it's really annoying for the person/people answering them. Most questions are either private (use a PM) or other people may well find the answer useful (post a thread). Enough people lurk around on the forums enough that it's never really very long before questions get answered anyway. As for real-time conversations, aside from those we already have in the servers, we did have IRC for a while, but a whole 2-3 people used it after a few days. IIRC, we did try a shoutbox as an experiment at one point, but it was just spam, and most people didn't notice it anyway because the only place for it is the bottom of the page. The top is just obnoxious and in the way. "We don't need it", is a valid reason not to have one, however the most compelling reason is that there isn't really any beneficial use that can't be done better by something else. That and the cons seem to be massively outweighing any reasonable pros. |
