Feasibility of a Chat Box

[William Sunshot]

As implied, this thread is about the feasibility of adding a chatbox/shoutbox to our forum.

I've seen a few other forums with small chatroom-esque boxes near the bottom where registered users can post instant messages. I'm not sure how well this would work or how possible it is to even do (I'm not familiar with the coding for this particular site...), but I was wondering if it would be a worthwhile idea to pursue.

Thoughts?

as davy darkrage has said before "it would defeat the purpose of a forum"

We've stated our position on any form of instant chat a couple times.
Sorry to disappoint, it is a commonly requested thing, however..

Probably more "whatnot" than we would know what not to do with it...couldn't resist.

I agree and could become too personal.

I would love one however when someones in a bad mood it leads to hurtful things being said and eventually just cause more drama than needed.
