GetBig chatroom?

A bunch of other message boards have a real-time chatroom feature that would have the potential to be hilarious here. Sorta like a place where Getbig gladiators could "take it to chat" and have it out in real time.

The rules of chat could be that it isn't archived and isn't moderated but what happens there STAYS there and doesn't bleed out into the threads.

Could be fun.

aj,

Is it a simple function that could be turned on and off through this site's software?

"1"
_aj_:
Yeah. SMF has various "mods" that do real-time chat. It would require the site's tech staff to install it, but once up and running, it should be fully configurable. I am sure that some of the chatroom mods have the ability to restrict the users by their "rank" or whatever it's called in SMF-land.

I can do a bit of research if you'd like.

I believe this was tried in the past.

Did it flame out? Around here, that is a distinct possibility. This place defines the term "unintended consequences."
