I was wondering if there would be any interest in me adding what pro boards call a 'shoutbox' to the forum.
This would basically be visible from any page on this forum, and allows users to easily and quickly chat with each other.
I would prefer that any ELO talk and gossip is added to the forum but for a general 'how are you?' 'whats your weather like' etc etc may interest some members?
Let me know what you think, we could alway test it for a few weeks and see if members liked it or not as I am able to disable it if required.

I don't know how that works (is it a chat like Facebook has?), but I'm always in for trying new things!

Always worth a try, the worst that can happen is that we all spam it horribly and it has to be taken down Go for it!

I'm so technically retarded that even trying to understand the simplistic working principles of what this "thingy" is...well its over my head! I might as well be looking into a big sack of turnips!

Why did you remove this feature, Horace? After the Grammy's it wasn't getting used, I can turn it back on if you want?

I'd like to. I think it may take some time for people to get used to it, but I see it very useful for when you want to say things that don't merit opening a thread or saying them in other people's threads.
But of course, if no one else likes it to be there, well, I submit myself to democracy.
