Chat or Shoutbox feature

[MAC]

Hi, I was just thinking that it would be great to have a chat or shoutbox feature added to the forum.

It's fun for all, and also handy for those who need an instant reply.

Just a thought

Judging by the overwhelming positive feedback, I think it's clear that everyone is really excited about this idea

We just implemented this @ ocx and everyone loves it. :)

Can someone give me a quick rundown about what this is?

[gimark]

Its sort of like an instant messaging client on a website, usually put on the front page.

YellBox - Free chat window for your website. has a demo on the left.

Basically what gimark said.

We have one on the Futuremark Forums.

Users generally like it, helps build a better sense of community.

[Eldonko]

Yeah its just a chatting thing at the top of the page. We have one here too: OCXtreme.org Forums

So this is a general conversation area which is live?

Yup. But it can be censored somewhat if your worried about that.

yes exactly. People just chat about whatever is on their mind, just have to keep an eye that users dont abuse it.
