Title: Something I am thinking about
Post by: Nimrod on December 01, 2008, 06:38:29 AM
I thought about this for a long time, and I came up with this idea, once. The idea was to make a livechat for the GOF. But one told me it would be to much work and we still have nice Msn chats. But, after I saw that Austin made a livechat on his homepage, why can¥t we on GOF?

If we were to make a live chat, it would have to be on a separate website.  Invisionfree doesn't give you a lot of control when it comes to this sort of thing.  I bet I could program something on the bottom of gof, but I'd need an external server and the way invisionfree is set up, it would have to be on every single page. <_< We could have a live chat, but it would have to be on a separate website.  That's all there is to it.  Since it has to be on a separate website anyways, why not just use the one on my website?  It'd be easier than setting up a whole new one.  Besides, it really doesn't have that much of a use.  I personally believe that a forum is much better than an instant gratification messaging system.  Once we get a good 500 ACTIVE members, then a live chat will actually become useful but until then we really don't have a use for it.

I got it now, thanks Austin. Well, but how you said... this livechat is kinda inactiv. Anyway, then it will stay like it is. :rolleyes:

MSN works fine for me.  I only log in on Fridays as it is.  I don't think people will simply change their msn habits since they know many people beyond our board.
