I feel if this were implemented it would cause there to be a need for a forum redesign to let it be used to its full potential

incorrect. the simple machines forum (this forums engine) supports thier own chat-thing. I was able to implant it on my site, which uses the simple machines forum engine also.

No, I understand that it is possible on this engine. I just think the current setup of the forum (visually) would have to change for it to smoothly fit into the already existing landscape

this is one of the best server suggestions i have heard. it may take some time, but i think that it will be worth it.

I disagree. What's the point if we have IRC?

all i had to do was add a tab on that top row thing where the forum, home, vote, etc links are

irc allows you to talk to people taht are ingame; this is only for people on the forum chat at the time

IRC can accomplish that as well. People tend to use it for in-game chat, but it's not exclusively in-game chat only.

The question remains: does having another IRC inlet make sense?

Just saying, some people play on classic, some on smp, but we all
go on the forums, that's where a new irc could come in handy. It
would cover the ground which in-game irc couldn't handle by linking
up the two servers, and where would be the better place to host
this new IRC? On the forum, neutral ground, where everyone can
chat and not be spammed by the shouts of "carrots for sale!".
So yes it does make sense, it may take a bit of effort at first, but
from there it's all down-hill.

I'd like to pick this topic back up.

I truly believe if this is implemented it would be used to its full extent.

Yes please

You said it ! +100k

I like the idea of a forum only chat. I know we already have many ways to communicate but this might be nice too.

Bump.. just wanted to revive,get an answer or nick's approval

or optical's thoughts lol

or optical's thoughts lol

that would work too

i can totally see usefulness in this. We need a chat for everything xD Ingame, those who cant be ingame, and those who want to talk. Adding forum chat would render our server complete on the communication scale.

This would be much better than IRC. IRC requires you to download a software, connect to the server and THEN you can actually communicate with other players. Having an actual forum chat box would save you all the pain of getting an IRC client or even Mumble.
