Bring back the shoutbox

[Dex]

It's a easier way to communicate with other people. That's all I am gonna say on the matter.

[Deleted]

yes

[vammy]

Yes

[Baise-moi]

Yes.

[Dex]

Well let's hope the shoutbox gets back as quick as getting votes.

[Bannanachair]

I'm sorry, but how is a temporary post that will disappear after a few seconds and that has a character limit of under three hundred considered a more efficient method of communication? I am legitimately confused.

[Dex]

Because, it's fast. Temporary. And it doesn't disappear after a few seconds. That's a lie Tim.

[Baise-moi]

Not really a lie, more of a misconception. In a way he is, however, correct; It all depends on the speed of the chat, which usually happens to be slow.

[Dex]

If you refresh the entire site the oldest disappears but if you refresh the shoutbox you keep the old.

Have you never heard of hyperbole?

[The Jiggler]

"There are two ways that I know of to get your idea passed, if it's possible for me to do so. The first method is coming up with an idea that I like. The second is getting ten people to support your idea.
"

The poll has reached ten yays. If Tim does not oblige to this, he his compromising his standpoint on fairness which would result in a lot of flame. 

As of 2:25 AM CST, there are 10 "Yes" votes and 1 "No" votes. 

Photographic evidence:

I said it, but there's another idea which I saw that I liked which was to remove the shitbox.

Have you? Other than trying to feel smart by looking up the names of fallacies on wikipedia?

[vammy]

To be fair Bebi, I heard about hyperbole in my seventh grade english class.

I think bringing back the shoutbox will help us Tim. Stop being stubborn, you're hurting yourself in the process.

Tim, stop targeting the grammar of those you disagree with it. All it shows is you ignoring the point of their posts as if they are inferior because they make a tiny grammar mistake. Who cares if they spell a word wrong or put a word in the wrong place? It really doesn't matter. What does matter however is the point behind their post regardless of their grammar, as long as it is understandable and they made an attempt at being coherent it's fine. 

The point of this whole thread is the shoutbox. By the looks of it only yourself and one other person don't want back while everyone else who has voted want it. The rules state that there are only two cases in which a suggestion can go through with one already being achieved here. Personally I think the needs of 10 people out weigh the need of 1, especially in this scenario, even if that 1 is the other deciding factor in regards to suggestions. Yes, there have been problems but come on people want it and it's removal has not had a great effect on the site. We need to stop restricting things and having problems with every little thing and actually run the site that was promised when it began. We aren't adults and neither are we 8 so let's stop being so stuck up about the rules around here and run a site that people can enjoy without being rescricted in everything we do. Of course there needs to be rules but at the moment all of these rescrictions are damaging the forum and making people join countless others while we have a sutible one here if we give it a chance.

I need to find a way to add a foolproof report system to the shoutbox first. I'm looking at plugins at the moment, but if I can't do that, I'll need to arrange "staff patrol hours" or something of the sort so that the shoutbox is always being watched.

Have you read my solution for the shoutbox? Also I haven't found a way to do the shoutbox report system. So the staff patrol hours might have to go into place. So we need more people in different time zones to watch it.

Tell me if you need to troubleshoot.

Stop trying to help the person who has done nothing but hurt us, Dex.
What the fuck are you doing.
Go to the tavern, join BLI.
Leave this shitshow.
