Supporters MrCheesman94 Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 i have been thinking it would be a cool feature too have on the website, what do you guys think?
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 I wouldn't use it often, if at all - it's just not the way i behave online / i have plenty of stuff on the go at the same time - a live chat box needs watching to know what the topic of conversation is. I'd very quickly start feeling trapped - like watching telly without TiVo
Moose87 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 wtf is Tivo, i dont even have tv here in canada, i go to a bar to watch sports lol.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 lol it's a hard drive system to record TV - u very quickly stop watching tv live, even if something is on that u want to watch, u just record it and watch/do something else in the meantime... because... then u can watch it and FFWD through the ads record up to 3 channels while you watch something already recorded + access to digital on demand services as 1 of those channels mine is 1 Terabyte so it holds a fuck load of films & whole series, like 67 eps of Fringe, the whole of the recent Spartacus 3 series - stuff I like but not enough to buy/acquire on some permanent media so now that is my habitual TV MO - at a moments notice i can sack something crap and put on something i know is good, or use the search to find stuff i might like / same as having 3 pages of Chrome open with about 15-20 tabs on each and a few on the go which work better in Firefox - I do actually have a monumental attention span, but I'm trying to become far less tolerant of utter bollocks because due to my medication i now find it very difficult to learn new things - those mindless waffles are using up precious microgorms...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 so its a sky box basically. no it's much better - the OS is far more intuitive + an extra channel & crucially it never fails during bad weather
Baz JJ Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 The problem with chat boxes and even the existing status update section is that it detracts from the forum - people will ask questions there and there will be no record, so the forum will get even quieter.
Russe11 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 I think the status updates perform the function well enough. My experienece with chat boxes on forums is that you log in to find a weird conversation going on that makes no sense unless you scroll back several pages. They're just annoying.
Supporters M_P Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 There was a chat thing years ago but no one used it so they got rid of it.
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted December 30, 2013 AF-UK Founding Member Posted December 30, 2013 As above. Statuses work quite well I think.
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted December 30, 2013 Supporters Posted December 30, 2013 Statae? Statarii? Statunaramum?
