Chatbox Or Shoutbox

Who is interested in this?

A chat has been considered. If it is something that would be put to use, it can be integrated.

In my experience chats take away from the forum activity because everyone simply discusses what they want to discuss there and ignores the forums. I have one integrated on one of my forums and it's killed off a lot of the activity from the forums because everyone would much rather just chat. So they can be useful tools, but they will absolutely take away activity from the forum itself.

This is why I was holding off on one from the start. I was considering adding one when DBS starts back up for a weekly discussion of sorts for people who want to watch together.

If it were opened for the duration of the stream and closed shortly after, that could work, but a full time chatbox is likely to detract from the forum activity. It's a hard balance to find, because I understand the appeal of them, but as a fan of forums, I hate seeing them stagnate.

You don't need to enable me for live second by second shitposting. I'm already bad enough the way it is. If we do chat during stream watch parties I'm going to promise you all right here and now I will be drinking and it will get hilarious.

After we get over 10,000 posts, I think this should be used as an experiment for like two weeks before we decide to implement it or not.

I'd call the Riot an experimental chat, and that wasn't all that great. Keeping it forums only is the best approach, IMO.
