Starshine 16,333 June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 http://mlpforums.com/topic/12476-chat-is-dead/ We apologize to those of you that make use of the chat room, however we have come to the ultimate decision that closing it so that we can refocus the collective energy of the MLP Forums staff on the most important aspect of the community - the forum - is, in the long run, in our best interests. The chat room, while a source of entertainment for some, is completely impractical from a moderation standpoint due to the lack of worthwhile back-end features and controls. Additionally, IP.Chat's glitchy nature has resulted in a great many threads and private messages seeking help and support for issues that are, quite simply, beyond our control. Our goal from the start has always been to provide the best possible forum for My Little Pony-related discussion. This decision, though it may ultimately prove unpopular, was made in the interest of helping us regain sight of that goal. One of the main reasons why the Chat is gone in my opinion is the sheer lack of manpower to keep the Chatroom under control Unless there are five of you volunteered to take shifts guarding the Chatroom, there's no hope :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 June 30, 2012 Founder Share June 30, 2012 >quality discussions >on mlpforums If anything, the death of chat caused the quality discussions to drop because people took their rambling and spam into the forums. MLP Forums was always meant to be a "classier" forum than most where well-composed posts and worthy topics were the norm, not the exception. If you're coming to MLP Forums expecting a pony-themed 4chan where anything goes, you've come to the wrong website. If you think spamfests are all MLP Forums is about, then I'd honestly recommend you find a better forum, because we're actively working to improve the quality of the average post here, like it used to be (and that was the main reason we hired ten new moderators, to keep this place from becoming a cesspool of one-liners). An official announcement with more on this is on its way. If you have no interest in debating, don't post in something like this. Just keep it civil - everyone is allowed to voice their opinion on whether we should have a chatroom or not. Except the chat allows real time talk. I'm sorry, but it's MUCH harder for someone to click with me if I only get a reply every 1-24 hours. Chat allows instantaneous connection with other members. If what you want is real-time talk, then I'd suggest looking for an IRC network to join rather than a pony forum. Canternet and Ponychat are two of the popular ones, and they've got legions of moderators to keep them under control. The internet forum was never designed for instantaneous communication - its virtue is that its slower pace of communication allows for higher-quality content, and said content is then archived indefinitely. My main gripe with the chat was if too many people were in it it was a clusterbuck of messages. I could never keep up. Not to mention every time I went there it was filled with non sensible spam and quite a bit of swearing. Skype works much better as you can chat one on one with members you want to talk to in a instant kind of a feeling the chat provided. If you ask me, the chat system would need re-working if it was to ever come back (Which I don't think it would) such as multiple chat rooms so 50 people aren't spamming the same one. Unfortunately, IP.Chat comes as a "black box" solution that runs on IPS's servers and thus, there's pretty much nothing we can do to rework it. Doesn't that just mean you came to the forums for the wrong reason. Your comment alone proves the statement. If a chat was so integral to yours and others reason for being here then your here for the wrong reason. The point of a forum is to post in the forum not chat in the little box on the side of the screen. This. ^ Please read my reply above. No it doesn't. I went on the forums MORE when there was a chat here, and I felt a lot more connected to the members here too. I'm surprised that SO MANY people are AGAINST the idea of chat. Quite frankly, if you don't like it, um, don't join? But there's a good amount of us who miss it. In fact, we lost a LOT of quality members because a rival bored opened that had the same setup, but also a chat. I did. I saw countless status updates like: "WTF? I'M BANNED FROM CHAT? UGH! *abbreviationhere* BLAH BLAH BLAH!" Do you remember those? xD Actually, I don't! That's why I'm given the impression that the mods are very lax when banning others from the chat. The issue with banning members or restricting them is that they tend to get butthurt and take it way too personally when they get moderated. It's bad enough when we remove a post to clean up a thread - the reaction is usually abysmal when someone is told they're no longer allowed in the chatroom. We dished out warnings for chatroom behaviour all the time and it resulted in a significantly increased workload on the moderators. The worst part was that none of the work we did to moderate the chatroom resulted in any lasting effect on the site. You may be thinking, "throw more moderators at the problem!" but that honestly isn't going to solve anything. Based on the survey we ran in March, there was a virtually perfect 50:50 split of members who thought that chatroom moderation was too strict or too lax. I would like to add that it may sound bad that we lost 40-60 members the day the chatroom closed; but there was absolutely no visible drop in forum activity, and a very noticeable drop in moderator work. I don't mean to imply that we're lazy, but none of the mods get paid for anything and they all have every bit the life that you do. Also, with hundreds upon hundreds of active members, a loss of 40 isn't even close to enough to kill this site. 16 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I'm not even in the Skype group anymore, since I get like 100000000 notifications from it, and my phone lagged when I pressed it by misstake. Hah.

Klopp 2,050 June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 I see a lot of people making good points in here, but no one quite explaining the main problem with IP.Chat, and why it will never come back. To be quite honest, IP.Chat is a terrible little program due to it's massive lack of features. The main problem being that there are two ways to chat in there. First one being an all out spam-fest with every user in the chatroom, and the only other option being to have a private conversation with one other person. You could not have a private chat with just three or more people, and trying to have two sets of three people having two seperate conversations was almost always going on in their. That was one of the most common complaints we received when the chat was active. The next problem was the moderators actual abilities. We could banish and kick you, that's it. No deleting or editing posts, specifically links to NSFW or such. The main chat only showed something like 150 posts, and only the Admins had access to the chat logs to deal with the many reports made on members who broke the rules within. It was just a horrible set-up that was impossible to moderate properly, even if someone were watching over it 24/7. This caused a great deal of stress to moderators, driving some (Zoop) crazy. From a moderators perspective, it was simply hell. The last issue is that IP.Chat is extremely glitchy. Often causing double posts, and kicking members without cause, it was not allowing for people to carry on a decent chat without some sort of bug intervening on the discussion. Nopony who often visited the chatroom could avoid these glitches, and they were quite a nuisance. More moderators is not going to fix the fact that IP.Chat is a few bits shy of a full byte. I was more than pleased to see the back of that thing. I'm only sad that I missed out on the mass banishment before the closing that took place while I was at work 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 As a vehement detractor of the chat, I'll repeat what I said when it closed: This is MLP Forums, not MLP Chatroom. The benefit of social interaction and connection with fellow users inside the chatroom was greatly offset by the egregious amounts of spamming and other rule breaking actions, thus making the chatroom feel more like a wart on the site's face rather than a beautiful accessory that enhanced it. The chat had some merits for social activity but in the end, it was a mess to run and a mess to monitor. You can still interact with fellow users on the forums and make friendships as you did in the chatroom. It may be a smidge harder and slower, but it can still be done. 2 MLP Forums' resident timelord, sports dilettante, and purveyor of wit and humor~*Traveling Timelord Nonpareil*~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's YOUR feedback. Who said "you hate mods?" I said you were "hating on stuff that shouldn't be an issue;" And that if you diverged your time from hating the decisions that saved us, you could get to know the mods as I do. The mods make their mistakes, but I love them anyway. The chat has mistakes, and you still love it. You made a mistake of even bringing the forbidden subject back up, I still love you. Heck, I just made a mistake with the offsite link section of the rules (above.) And I know darn well Feld0 won't want me murdered brutally. Oh yeah, we have a facebook page too. Chat there. Enjoy.

MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 It seems you're getting kind of hostile on a topic that (in my opinion...) shouldn't be brought up anymore. I've had my fun on the chat too, and I'm sure tons of people have, but let's face it: it's never coming back. Feld0 said so himself. 4 I HAD TO FALL TO LOSE IT ALL BUT IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER /WRISTS On 4/28/2013 at 8:13 PM, gooM said: Djenty...man you are crazy, but an awesome sort of crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallow 1,137 July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 We don't have any mod in the Skype room, now do we? (I don't know, I've never been there actually) Then why would the chat on the forums have to be monitored 24/7? I completely agree with Fizzy when he says that a chatroom is much better for socializing/making friends/connecting with others etc. than a thread on the forums. It's just not the same when you have to wait 20 minutes for someone to answer your posts. I think that the chatroom had some good to it and I would be in favor of it coming back. I certainly don't remember it being as bad as some people make it seem to be. Sure there were some inadvisable conversations going on from time to time, but it wasn't all that bad to be honest. Or maybe I just didn't go there enough. I don't know. Anyhow, we have what, 20 mods now? I'm sure that we could afford to dispatch a few to the chat room. Anyway, that's just my opinion and it's up to the admins to decide whether they want it back or not. I just find it kinda funny how most of the guys who are complaining how bad the chat was and how they never want it back were some of the most active members in the chat... Remember the good times you had in there... "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."
