ChatBox - Only for Supporters and Staff

[Exceptional]

To be honest, this is kinda desperate - if you plan to get rid of everything that cause potential rulebreaking, then why even hire mods?
Non-registered people can view the same stuff as registered people. Please bring it back and step up your moderating game.

Or you could make the chatbox follow the same rules the forum has. Seems silly I can use "off color" language here but it was a major issue there. Especially when all these forums are google searchable where the chatbox wasn't.

The chatbox is fun. It had pretty steady traffic and I think it brought people back to the forum.

This being said I may be a big factor in the decision to remove the chatbox. And for everyone that is upset because of this ... my apologies.

Exceptional. There is no moderating issue. It's the fact that some people go way too far.
Not a lot is asked of the members. We ask that people show a little respect for others.
Not that much to ask.

Slingshot there are many factors that lead to the decision.

How is that not a moderating issue? If someone go too far, you delete their message(s), and ban them. I don't see what the big deal is.

It's been done.

This was not a decision that was made today. It is a constant problem so there was a decision that was made.

It is a perceived problem. Not an actual one. In my opinion.

This is your arguement? How about answering my question? How is this not a moderating issue?

Thanks GOD, it was only an annoyance.

Eh I am with eldon (I just like IRC more).
I dont mind that it was gone when infact I suggested a few weeks back that we get an IRC channel together.
Oh well bye bye chat box... You might be missed. :3

Aside of that I do understand why...
But it just seemed to me like a sales pitch for the supporter subscriptions.
Oh want to chat? - Here do this first ... Mkay here you go!

Not to be smart - I do love this place and have met quite a few people here who I like talking to.
I feel like I kinda got rear-ended with 0 heads up warning of the impending change. I logged in and was like "Wait a Tick... a huge part of my workday is missing now!"

It wasn't a money grab, I assure you. Despite all my one effort to get that guy to put in a PayPal button on this website, he refused. Eddie is a nice guy with freakishly white teeth and is someone whom I respect which is extremely rare. If it was me in charge of this place, then I'd be charging you guys for every single letter and would do it with a shit-eating grin on my face. Just be thankful you have a selfless website owner with a great set of mandibles because he's(as far as anybody in the history of ever is concerned) easily the most giving person on this website.

Killswitch is fixing his truck so he may, or may not get back to you Exceptional.
