can this be done with vB 3.0? think it would be a nice addition. :shrug: thoughts, commentary, severe beatings with 3/4" hose? :eekdance:
I dunno. A site I was used to frequent all the time, Newschoolers.com, has it.
I never found a use for it. It was always just more convenient to setup an AIM chat if anything.
irc channel > *
Yes it can be done. Via IRC or standalone program module unique to the board. Don’t know how easy it is for VB, php wasn’t too bad. It would take some work though.
vb chat is easy to hack in, but it kinda then defeats the purpose of this board in some way…
I dunno, who wants it who doesn’t? I can put it in if you all want.
yeah i thought the whole board was a caht forum? so why not just make an irc channel to hang out in if thats wat ur looking for?
irc would be better, we can move files around that way too :tup:
Bah just use aim to chat…
Mods are here to serve and we need your input
i think it go agienst the purpose of a forum like this… what if a question comes up on a chat and another person is wondering the same thing but wasnt chatting at the time … then the same question will be asked over n over again.
and on top of that im sure all it will do is add to the drama factor on here
if its so easy to install… why not… cant hurt to try it out…
I agree, it will defeat the purpose of the board.
but it will also be good in the long run, such as if there is a question that needs an in dept answer it will be easier to talk on the chat than the baord, because you wont have to wait for someone to post on the baord.
But it has its ups and downs.
:tup:
not to sound like a dick, but you have 40 posts. it will not affect you at all. i will just clean up the “noise” thats constantly getting posted in off topic.
jack would only have 40 posts (as well as myself) if there was a live chat.
and if its done on irc, we can have a bot log the channel. so if something interesting that is automotive related is discussed, we can post it in a thread later.

^^^^WERD
i’d sit in it at work if the proxy/etc would allow me to.
would be much easier if it would work easily in a browser as opposed to me loading some java irc client on a webpage or configuring irc software
trillian is a pretty nice client for loading irc, aim and irc at the same time, u wouldnt find me complianing
bitchx ownz you
bitchx is garbage… irssi > bitchx
i happen to like bitchx, and have been using it since most of this forum was still wetting the bed. however irssi does look nice, i am a creature of habit. you wont see me rubbing one out with my left hand, or leaving bitchx any time soon
