Shoutbox

Has there ever been any discussion of adding a shoutbox that only people with a certain amount of rep points can participate in or view? If you need help with code for one, I can get you the hook-up, provided this is a legal, licensed copy of VB.
Just a thought.

no shoutbox......and im sure theres some members here that can tell ya why!

weve done it on another board we used to own but it got of control and way out of hand so we removed it...and have found that works much easier that way...

That's cool, I searched for "shoutbox" and didn't find anything, so I thought I'd throw it out.....

/close please

I miss it. I'm on another site with it and nobody misuses anything. In fact, they have a "chat mod" someone who chats a lot and can police it.

Same as AIM or something like that but it's right there on the site and the members can talk to each other.

Wouldn't a chat room be better then? We had one of these before but it wasn't used that often..

Having a SB on the front page would allow "real time" chat between members. I think it would be there, up front for everybody to see....idk, just a thought.
