Yes, Suggestions and Concerns is open for new threads for members to post their feedback.

On the subject of a chat, we (moderation team) are working on the possibility of adding a chat to the board/site. We need to work out more details and conditions, but we might get one added somewhere.

You may not like my answer....I'm going to say no to a chat room -- unless (and this is a big UNLESS) there is some way to connect it to the login system of this board, and connected to the users of the forum. Why? Abuse! Yeah, you don't want to think that anyone here would do that and impersonate another, but without a login to prevent said abuse, it can and probably will happen. All it takes is a flood of emotions, a lousy day, and you've got a problem. Unless this can be done, a chat room is not something I recommend.

Members should go and register their own Skype/Windows Live/Yahoo etc. accounts and post that info in their profile. This prevents abuse, and you can still chat with a large group through these programs.

yes i see what u mean. as for impersonating. you can know whos who with and "IP address". mods usually have tht power to view it. as for linking a chat to the actual site, i am on a forum tht does have tht capability and uses your current nick and everything. sadly i have no clue how to do tht xD but as for this chat ill check into it and see the possibility's

But what about the people who don't have Skype/Windows Live/Yahoo accounts? (Like me.)
I think a chat channel would be awesome.

Lutra · August 27, 2011, 04:10:04 PM

^ All of those accounts cost the same as the chat.....free. If you have an email address, you can sign up for those services.

Tiria Wildlough · August 28, 2011, 06:29:26 AM

I'm not allowed to yet, though.

Lutra · August 28, 2011, 12:31:48 PM

Then pray, what exactly is the difference between a Windows Live service and a chat room? I assume the "I'm not allowed to" refers to a restriction on chatting, not necessarily signing up for something. (I remember those days when chat rooms were a tad taboo, so I didn't regularly use one of these services till high school, granted they weren't as refined as they are now)

Gonff · August 28, 2011, 07:03:21 PM

I haven't been allowed to use a chat room yet. My parents might allow me if we had one on here, but I'm not sure.

Tiria Wildlough · August 30, 2011, 12:27:28 PM

What I mean is that I'm too young to sign up for anything like that.

Maybe when I'm older...

Lutra · August 31, 2011, 12:22:24 AM

Ok that makes some sense.

The Legends of Redwall Abbey actually has a narrow chat box that you can use. All you do is scroll down to the very bottom of the page, no matter what page your on, and it will be there. You can talk to anyone, without it being a personal chat kind of thing.
