So any chance we could try out a chat system on here? I wasn't around when PAFOA did it so I don't know how it worked or why it was removed or how popular it was, but most forums I've ever been on before have had chats, or at least shout-boxes up top.
Just a thought, although the way the site is loading for me at the moment, I'm not sure about the quality of the server and whether it could handle the extra load, so an external client embedded might be better than an internal system.

Not stating I'm for or against, but I am stating that I wouldn't use it.

I'm not sure about chat...I'm interested in some feedback about having chat but I really don't think it is feasible for many reasons at this time.

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

I would definitely use it. PAFOA's chat was a blast when we had it. That being said, if any here thought the Wasteland was bad, the Chat was ten times worse. At times it was a free for all, and yes, there was sometimes racism and nastiness and ugliness spewed. BUT...it was a hell of a lot of fun to just bash the ever-loving fuck out of each other.
There really is no practical use for chat here, except for laughs and bullshitting with whoever is on.

There are a million chat programs in existence already, i see no need for another one.
Just my opinion.
Tell you one thing i would like to see changed: The system imposed delay between posts is too long.

We could always set up a chat on IRC.

I have no idea how to do that, but that's an idea.
