Topic: How am I supposed to Hula-Hoop against normal NWRers if chat is empty?

[that Baby guy]

You know, instantaneous battles because I feel like it.  That sort of thing.  I don't want to have to arrange a fight ten days before hand to play someone right now!  C'mon, people, use chat some, at least.

Hoola Hoop the messenger man.

Chat is still a better place for random meet-ups. :p

But if you wanted to hula hoop against a random person you'd have to have the foresight to enter that person's friend code last week in order to ensure (maybe?) that you could play against him RIGHT NOW.

Not when I'm on my roomie's Wii.

The chat app never seems to work when I load it.

[that Baby guy]

Oh.  I'm on a client with a direct link to the channel.  Is that chat link still down after all of these months?

HERE PEOPLE HERE:

This is called Chatango.  They are chat rooms that can be embedded into a page.  They load quick and don't have to take up a lot of room.


Look at this example, you see a normal forum, with the chat embedded at the bottom:

http://www.animerumor.com/forums/

It works great.  I think we should implement it. And NWR doesn't have to host it. Plus it's free.  Here, I made one:

http://nintendoworldreport.chatango.com/



Here is the code to embed it into the website.

I'll be in the chat room.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I'll try it when I get home.

State of California does not like webchat.

[DAaaMan64]

but seriously, maybe I need to put this up in the NWR discussion to see if they'll let us put it in.

[that Baby guy]

Yeah, I'm in the chat room, too.  My only problem is if you don't use sound on your computer, it doesn't notify you of a message... a little sad, I suppose.

[DAaaMan64]

So should I propose this as a possible chat system?
