NWRers are having a hard time setting up matches for games. I think we can make this better with a superior chat vehicles.

This is what I propose, a new chat protocol. Remember every new feature that actually works well, loads fast, you don't have to host it, and it can make this forum more popular and the site over all.

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. But if you wanna make one for NWR forums, go to chatango.com I know a few matches were already made, I'd like to see more.

Thanks

like hell you're in the chat

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #2 on:** September 12, 2008, 10:49:44 PM »

I was yesterday for like 4 hours.

They need to embed it. It'll be way better, because your obligated to be in the chat.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #3 on:** September 13, 2008, 10:41:19 AM »

I like this idea.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 13, 2008, 03:18:45 PM »

Ya I think it would be really cool. I mean, lets say you are surfing the site, if you've signed up with chatango, it will remember who you are. And say you are just surfing the forums, and someone in the chat you notice keeps saying they wanna brawl. Well you had no intention of brawling, but the chat made you curious.

Mafia could also be wayy more badass with this.

vudu · « **Reply #6 on:** September 13, 2008, 11:25:52 PM »

Wandering already tried that a couple times.

As you can see, it didn't work out so well.

He tried it with mafia. Not the whole site, plus it would still better because the chat box literally EMBEDDED into the forums.

I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about using Chatango for Mafia. I must have been mistaken.

I endorse this idea with the camels.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2008, 11:28:28 AM »

I should be chatangomango-exclusive given how broken the Core layout is.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 21, 2008, 11:49:59 PM »

Can I get a staff member to evaluate my proposal? :p

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2008, 11:19:48 PM »

I think this is a good idea, but I don't have stroke around here to put it in place. I'll bring it up at our next staff meeting, however.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2008, 11:31:50 PM »

Chatango will be great with all the real-time HAWTNESS we can deploy onto it.

Pale · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2008, 02:48:52 PM »

Does chatango require a registration or can you dive right in too?

Pale · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2008, 02:50:55 PM »

Just tried it out, no pressing enter to send a message is pretty lame.... hmm.

Funny enough, pressing enter did send the message on the first day. Daaaman must have changed the settings of the room since then (without realizing it).

You actually have to register or something I think. I don't have that problem. Pro, do you still experience this?

Pale, do you think it will work?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #21 on:** September 23, 2008, 03:41:19 PM »

I experienced it as of yesterday (SeaMonkey/Mozilla browser).

Another issue is once a temp user creates a name, it's only good for that session, and is permanently inaccessible afterwards.

vudu · « **Reply #22 on:** September 23, 2008, 03:46:16 PM »

I'm in the chat room right now, and enter sends the messages just fine for me. It's like the site can't make up its mind.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #23 on:** September 23, 2008, 04:17:35 PM »

Well, it seems to work fine for me. I'm not so sure it's that great an idea. It'll either be mostly dead all the time or cannibalize General Chat and the Funhouse.

Besides, vudu will never use it because he can't fix his typos.

Even under your circumstance, that's still more activity then the old room.
