Is there some way we can implement an "open chat" feature similar to MySpace and Facebook?

Like an open room anyone (members only with a certain post-count) can join, but is on the main page of the site.

I like that idea. I know on some other forums they are lockouts... like, you can't do this until you've reached X amount of posts...

Well I have an IRC chatroom in the Darkmyst network, but if anyone wants it on another network I could set it up.

Wait are we talking about a feature that allows you to have a chat running while you're serfing the boards or a board specific chat room? Because for as rare as we do open chat, I think Valerie's IRC is sufficient. But if it were the former, that'd be pretty cool.

yeah a chat (or a group chat with multiple people) would be nice for those with no knowledge of irc. i saw a friend use it once and it looks damn confusing.

I was actually thinking of this idea, however, does anyone feel that it would sorta defeat the purpose of the forums? Maybe not. I'm thinking something like a facebook chat TE style would be kinda neat. We'll see, I'll talk to Ed about it.

Well I know that raini and I often get into PM chains. The Open chat would help make this easier to have instant conversations. I doubt the boards themselves would be undermined, if for no other reason than larger, complex ideas would be expressed in the form of a post on the boards. Not to mention the fact that I imagine this chat would be basically more along the lines of a 1-on-1 whereas the board posts are open to all.

And of course my Evil Casino Empire can't be run via IRC. Evil or Very Mad

Well, I was imagining the chat could also be an open thing anyone could join. Like a little pop-up that you could have 1-on-1 or one pop-up that everyone can post in.

It would make the "Chit Chat 1.0" thread obsolete, but would not undermine other boards.

Except maybe Debate Island if the chats got heated...

Despite what recent threads may look like Debate Island isn't just our "flaming pile of flames". People are capable of having reasonable discussions on there that take more time to argue than just a chat thread.

But now that you mention it the potential abuse of the chat is something to look into...

The problem with Facebook is that I don't have one and I am boycotting it out of principle. Why not have a link ON the forums that points to a web IRC chat client configured to connect to the channel?

Wait a minute, back up? Not to seem snarky, but you're boycotting Facebook on principle?
