shoutbox suggestion

Don't know if this is the right place, but It would be nice if this forum had a shoutbox like others forums you see around.
Like in http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=76
this one you don't need to refresh every time

So the trolls would have more territory to feed on?

Somewhat unnecessary in my opinion, if you haven't anything worth a post or a topic to say best leave it unsaid.

Or go on the irc channel.

And leave it unsaid there.

No more discussions about lassie and barney? :'(

We already have the IRC channel for that purpose. And guess what? You can load up the IRC and browse the AGS forum at the same time!

A shoutbox would just clutter up AGS website IMO.

I have seen shoutboxes implemented quite nicely on some forums. I think if it could be limited to registered users with, say, 50+ posts and it could only be viewed on the home page (or directly via some "shoutbox.php" page or something) then it could be useful.

Consider for example that you're at a public library and you have a quick question, but can't log into IRC. If the forums had a shoutbox then you could ask there instead.

By no means would I say that AGS needs a shoutbox...but I can see how it could be beneficial (provided some limitations).

I don't think we neeeed a shoutbox.
But it would certainly be an interesting addition.
I don't care either way.
