Lato 246 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 It would be nice if there were a shoutbox or a global chat, where anybody online could talk to other through IM. I don't know if anybody already suggested this, but usually all the forums have them (ones I use anyway). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
碇 シンジン 27,433 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 Chat or shoutbox has been here on forums before and as far as I know it was taken down because it is really hard to moderate and keep inappropriate content away from there. 4 Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohbdy 4,108 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 As ooBrony stated, we did have a chat feature in the past. It worked for a while, but as the site grew, it became impossible to moderate effectively. It was ultimately decided that the efforts of the staff were better focused on the forums themselves. For that reason, the chat was shut down permanently. Read this announcement for more details. If you want to chat with your fellow members, we encourage you to use off-site services such as Google, Skype, and IRC. We also have an on-site General Chat Thread that you can check out. To provide a more direct response to your suggestion, I'm afraid I must answer it with a no. A shoutbox/chat is a frequent suggestion, but we know from experience that the benefits from such a feature simply don't outweigh the costs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
