Default Box Of A Chatty Nature

we should really get a chatbox for these forums...i can setup a short-term one, if anyone is interested...because instead of getting it all over the forums and flooding the forums...informative members can be on the chatbox and if anyone has a question, they can answer it in real time

http://xat.com/MonteCarloForumEnthusiasts

epic win, when/if any mods come onto the chatbox i will make them mods...but right now i guess im the self appointed mod of the chatbox lol...is this not acceptable? or can you roll with it?

We have done it a couple of times and it was fun, but the forum posts suffered from it. We need lots of posts to keep the sponsors happy as space says. I know what you mean though about real time chat, it is nice.

I'll explain for any new members who aren't already aware.

The owners of this forum won't put chatboxes on any of the 100+ forums they have. A few members have tried like previously mentioned. Including moderator JJ. But they tended to die out. The daily blog was the alternative that has seemed to stand the test of time so far.

daily blogs are fine and all...but if it is the money you dont want to put in, thats fine...i already have a chatbox from xat customized and the website works fine that it is sitting in...i chatted with my friend to test it out...lol we were on fb but tested it instead of fb chat...and yes, ik that forum posts will suffer...not much by me though...if someone has replied to my previous post, i usually get to it within a hour if im on the computer...but it is your choice...i was just trying to get real time information when i needed it because im pretty sure atleast 1/2 of my questions have been lost...and i dont wanna ask them again cuz then someone might find my previously asked same question and get mad haha

I don't remember us ever having a chat box.. but everywhere I've seen it, it just didn't seem to serve a purpose. I think we should adopt a "Like" feature, where members can like one anothers posts... kind of like on Facebook, YouTube, and lots of othersites that have adopted the "Like" feature.
