MODS/everyone: your opinions on a shoutbox / chat interface

seems like threads get off topic real fast here, I am guilty of this myself, would putting in a shout box or chat type interface up here help this shituation? It seems like popular threads just turn into random chat at times more often then not so what do you guys think?

no

no

why

I’d rather have posts to view for past lulz.

I agree, some off topic threads turn epic. and thats why i think these guys say no.

Knock yourself out

I’m still amazed that thread hasn’t taken off like crazy.

Almost all forums I’ve seen with that feature were dead. Rspeed had much less posts in threads, same with a few others I can’t think of off the top of my head.

Quick ways to kill a forum:

  1. Too many sub-forums.
  2. Chatbox.

Chat box kills the forum.
Random Thoughts thread = Chat box.

This thread is now random.

Fair enough. LOCK THIS UP! or DELETE!

Good, now go to the Offtopic thread :shifty

Did you used to go by a different SN? Since APG forums?

Don’t think I had another one here “Camouflage89crx” was from APGmotorsports days. i tried getting that name here… wouldnt work for some reason.

You were doing it wrong :rofl
