Shoutbox
« on: 27 Nov 2013, 20:30:15 »
The website of another server I'm playing on has a "Shoutbox".  Basically, it's a place for people to chat rigtht on the front page.  You can participate or just watch the chat irt.  It is a great place to go if ur away from home, or if the server is down momentarily (like it is there atm) to chat or just get status from other players.  The biggest benefit of all - no "get back on topic" police.  :D

This is something something I would defiantly use :)
Hope the admins might take it into consideration :D

I believe that i suggested this before and was told that there was no need as we already have ts3 and the forums to begin with as well as in game chat if the server isn't down for maintenance, but you never know the admin team may reconsider.

An online chat will require 24/7 moderation(as Adrian stated) , also it may require a lot of memory to use.
You can use Teamspeak to chat on if you wish.
Apart from that, a chat would be nice, maybe something in the PM section which allows you to message a friend and receive the message instantly and not having to refresh 24/7 and some sort of global chat perhaps.

Anyways,  Unstable Bukkit should be out this weekend, and maybe the week after Bukkit releases the stable one, then maybe server will be back up ;)

It's not the same, but whatever.

If the server were up, it would require 24/7 moderation as well?  Like that ever happened.  I'd rather hear suggestions about what could be done, not excuses why they can't.  If that's what we did at NASA, we would have never gone to the moon.
