What Happened to Shout Box?

[Sanford]

:That sucks:

Well, running with HTML can certainly lead to issues and I was quite surprised all the bells and whistles weren't disabled first to monitor server load with out all that crap.

I also agree that having it on the index page could lead to problems and always thought it should have been part of a subdomain (ie. http://chat.x-h2o.com). Running in sub-domain you can monitor the loads very specifically and isolate problems where they may or may not reside. Another advantage for a sub-domain is you can ban certain users from "chat" but letting them on the regular home page.

I'll say this, I've talked (typed) with many users with that shoutbox and through "chat" you can get a feeling of how some people really are. While posting on the forums is and always will be the best media for tech info or sharing ideas, shoutbox (chat) gets you closer to how someone you never met is like. Its no mystery that many members come across quite different on the forums then they do in real life. IMO: shoutbox cast a light onto more of the real person behind the keyboard.

If everyone decides whether or not they want a place to chat let me know. I'll run it on my host and maybe we could place a link to it in our signatures or something.

we'll call it "ski chat" or something....

if thats alright with everyone I'll see what I can come up with... It will be couple days though... :bigeyes:

Freaking sweet idea:biggthumpup:

 

[ballen]

uhhhhh yeah..... I registered that tooo!!

 

[ballen]

Here's the dilemma.... I feel as if this might divert traffic from X-h20. Now thats something I really don't want to do. Soooo that's all this is going to be is a chatroom. It's going to be very basic virtually no home page, just a place to chat! :biggthumpup:

I planning on bringing back the flashchat, but in non-integrated mode. The security problem was in how it was integrated into vbulletin.

I have no problem running a chat, just want one that is secure so I don't have to bust my butt to get it running again just so people can bitch and moan about 'for riders by riders', it's still my ass that has to fix the place so everyone can bitch about decisions I make.

That wasn't everyone Darin. That was one person. Most people here act like they'd give you their first born if you asked.

Yay chat

Well, you've ran this Shoutbox before and had basically the same problems right? I just wondered why you did it again.. Not that i'm complaining. I liked it and even said some bad words on there too. So shame on me also.

You don't get it, it's a completely different version, a different approach, yes it looks the same, but in the backend it's quite a bit different in how it works, so you have to try it out to see how it works with our amount of users online/etc., otherwise you have no idea if it's usable or not.

Heck yeah bro, I am game. I had a shoutbox addiction for a few days there.

I think we are all kind of upset that we actually have to do work at work now :haha: :wink:
