To expand just a little bit, perhaps a Chat Box on the homepage? Just ask me for one and I will make it =D
If we do end up putting a Chat Box on ArmorGames, it will say I am the owner because I obviously created it. Of course, I would immediately make all moderators moderators and all administrators administrators on the Chat Box. Email shortthorne@gmail.com for more details.
Listen Upsilon this idea has benn shot down more then any other idea in Armorgames history . I don't know why they can't just bann people , but hey its there website.
Zega, thank you for your very polite comment on the chatbox I spent 3 weeks on. In very polite terms, I think I may just tell you where exactly you can go.
Right now, Godjule is the only one who's opinion will matter as he is the only commenter who has been on this chatbox while I could explain it to him. Zega, you just judged by what you saw, so your opinion does not matter.

You don't has the right to shut others out or tell them where to go. Everyone on AG has a right to there opinion and all opinions matter especially when your the OP.
As for my opinion, no matter what you moderate there will always be holes and abuse. Suppose you think this other guy is moderating, but they fall asleep or got something better to do and then there's abuse and people complain. Or maybe is you and you just had to walk away for a second, and lost track of time during your 4 hours or whatever, and then someone abuses it and complains to the AG staff and then you got to explain what happened and how it won't happen again and then they got to decide whether it will or not and this all takes time that they could use for other stuff. So I think it's just a headache waiting to happen. That's why I vote NO.
I also think this forum should be locked as it's obvious the OP is getting there feelings hurt and just letting the discussion break down.

If you would be so kind, I would appreciate it if you left the ordering done by official rules and moderators. I was just saying I would not consider an opinion if the person with that opinion had just been gathering their opinion from reading a post.

This is highly improbable. Even if something as unlikely as this DID happen, some trusted AG user would report if anybody was abusing the chat system.
Not all the time, sometimes there are the people who have not fully explored all the information. For instance; do you really think Upsilon will be the only mod on his little chat box? And if someone does spam or is being a troll the ban hammer is within reach of the mod who is moding the chat box. The ban hammer in this case can be made so that a ban could last for an hour or forever. And maybe Upsilon can set up a bot for the spammers.

So your saying that my opinion doesn't matter just cause you thing I haven't explored the information??? That would be really insulting if you weren't so ignorant.
First of all, if you read my paragraph, you would have seen the following :
Suppose you think this other guy is moderating,
OTHER GUY does not equal "Upsilon will be the only mod"
Second of all it says:
Or maybe is you and you just had to walk away for a second, and lost track of time during your 4 hours
OR. There's at lease two moderators that I mention as possibilities, one of which stays on for a four hour shift. How did I get that information? By exploring the information.
Upsilon said: I am usually on like 4 hours a day, and if another moderator is on then we can kick and ban
So maybe your the one Godjule who needs to read what people are writing before you try to insult others opinions, but really just insult yourself for not reading there posts.
And anyways, my whole point was that if you have a chatbox then you can't involve AG when trolls and spammers show up cause AG don't want to be bothered with extra headaches and there's no way to stop the trolls and spammers 100%. And what did Upsilon write back? That AG would be notified if anything happened! How many chatters when there is a problem are going to notify one of the mods or owners? If your slow at getting them, they'll even complain about how slow you are. So even he didn't even unerstood what I wrote! That's because he didn't respect the opinion of someone who didn't visit his little chatbox in the first place.

Well there's no more chat box anyhow so I don't even know why I bothered writing this. Maybe just to correct you two so you don't make those mistakes about others in the future.
You should always respect other AG member opinions. ALWAYS!!

Technically, there still is a chatbox. Maybe gather and explore this information a bit more, and you will see we never said it had been deleted.
As for our 'mistakes', I do not see where we are mistaken. There is no 100% guarantee that there are trolls on ArmorGames (I highly doubt that there aren't, though), and I do happen to read all of the topic carefully before I post.

Ah, here is somewhat fun part of being an administrator on a chatbox. Owen and Godjule will probably be the only ones who know how an owner (a.k.a. administrator) of the chatbox can go in to a mode called $tealth, in which the activator simply puts a '$' before their screen name, marking them as a normal guest or administrator. But first, the ranking system consists of Guests, Members, Temporary Moderators, Moderators, Co-Owners, and Owners. All of those rankings are color coded by a pawn, shown next to your name in the chatbox's list of users, and also shown when you post.
Guest = Green Member = Blue Temporary Moderator = White, with a clock icon Moderator = White Co-Owner = Orange Owner = Orange
When in $tealth mode, your orange pawn converts to a green pawn, marking you as a guest. Trolls and spammers are somewhat less careful, and are more likely to be a troll and spam when there is not (or appears to be) an administrator around. This mode was not developed by me, but by Xat, and I must say it is very useful.
Well, sorry for not letting you have the last word.
