Chat Box?

Post by LabZ »

Hey guys, been floating around whilst watching bathurst and had a thaught, would a chatbox on the site be a good idea? so we can talk trash or even ask quick questions without needing to start new threads?

thats it, was just throwin it out for the site mods because i think it would be a good feature. i know of a couple of chatboxes for phpBB and you need to be a registered user to access them so with basic flaming and language rules which would be expected site wide regardless, i feel it would be a great addition to this brilliant community :D

very true delco, this place has taught me so much about injection without the crippling cost of kalmaker, considering i struggled with tuning a carb before i started.

Great idea :thumbup: Will need to check with the forum master antus but the only real issue I see is what delcowizzid mentioned - lots may get discussed but no record of it.

Theres no technical reason why we couldnt.. just security and upgradeability concerns of 3rd party plugins, and a preference to keep discussion in the main forums for future reference. Im not really keen on the idea for those reasons. I also like having a clean and efficient uncluttered speedy site. :)

Hi antus,

One other query are we able to change the search terms on the site? sometimes i want to search for simple things but the rules dont allow it.
