Hey, I've been exploring through the forum, community, or whatever you want to call it.
I noticed there was no chatbox, shoutbox, whatever you want to call it.
Me, being a member of tons of blogs, forums, etc. and being an Admin of one, really likes the chatbox feature. It's really a great way to communicate and chill with e-friends.
Reasons why I believe ArmorGames should get a chatbox:
1. Easier to communicate with other members 2. Quicker responding 3. Just plain fun and awesome for the members!
Now, I know what you guys are thinking, what about spammers? Well, over at my forum where I am Admin, we have a "spam protection" thing... it comes with the free shoutbox that's very easy to include to a forum. Sooooo, a user cannot post the same message more than 3 times. But sadly, it cannot, does not, will not, discover other types of spam, which sorta sucks. But hey, then Moderators would be pointless, right?
Hope you read this, and if you did, thanks and let me know what you think.
Chatbox = more mods More mods = more mods leaving More mods leaving = more mod replacements More mod replacements = more work for admins More work for admins = well, let's just say they don't want to do more work than they have to.
AS A ADMIN WITH ESPERIENCE, YOU GUYS NEED A CHATBOX!
No need to be harsh. Even admins, make mistakes.

it's two chatbox threads a day, some people can't handle it. :P
Yeah. Armor Games' has a lack of features that most bulletin boards have. That's why newcomers always bombard with questions about chat boxes and other suggestions.

Then people shouldn't reply and go and get some real life interaction with other people so that they can grow a tolerance.
I realize I made a mistake, you guys are reactive as if I cussed of another member.
Sorry about that. Mainly we are against getting back an official chat because it was heavily abused back then. We are only a small group of mods, and an even smaller group of active mods which would mean that we would either need to make new people mods, make a new chat mod-title or as would be the easiest: not have an official chat. There have been a good amount of unofficial threads, but even the well known of those ended up inactive rather quickly. While it would be interesting to have a chat, and perhaps would take off some of the pressure on the comments (which are often abused as a chat feature), it would also mean that we perhaps would need to slack on the "no spam" rule we have. Yes, there is spam protection for people to not simply make a lot of posts in a short time, but how interesting would it be to have a chat where "Is anyone there?" "hello" "Oh, okay" or "Thanks" would be considered spam? It simply doesn't work properly with our policy.
