Main Chat Box DIscussion and Poll
Mon Jan 28, 2013 4:38 pm
Heyo guys,
I'm writing this to ask everyone a question: What chat box do we want to use as our main? Now, I'm only saying this, because if you have noticed I have added a new 2nd chat box to the main page for testing. Usually, we use a second chat box in case xat goes down like it has been doing quite often these past 2 weeks and nothing more. However, I am curious as to the community's opinions.
The cbox itself however does not come for free and requires some payment to use the premium features annually (bout $20 which i offered to pay half of already if we used it more) These features add pop up that tells you who is online and who is afk, adds sounds to notify when somebody messages and can be moderated using a series of web pages each with controls over different people. Now, all of these features are free for xat so why pay for a new one? Well it all depends on what people prefer. I personally dislike xat.
So, do we want to keep our xat and everything the way it is? or do we want the cbox?
Keep this civil.Anger, aggression, insults and stuff will just get your post removed.
EDIT:
I completely forgot the actual thing I wanted to put out there. What I was tempted to do, was put cbox over the top of xat for a week and see how people feel after using it. Then we decide what we like.
Also, any thoughts would be nice. A vote without a reply is an arrogant vote.

im quite used to the xat and havent really used the chat box but it might be fun testing it out and i think i can use the chat box on my Android device. well i say the chat box should still be moved as the main for at least a week like your saying so people can get a little used to it if they arent. maybe that way they can make a better choice.

I personally think that we could use different C-box things.. I know that Chatango is a good one that I am often fond of because of it's uses.

Keep both on the main page
I'd say we keep the xat as the main. It's worked for many years, has become a staple in PH culture and it feels at home there. With just a regular chatbox, it feels pretty dull. However, it does have advantages in keeping both; such as when the xat decides to shit out and we use the secondary chatbox. I'd say just get the premium and advertise the second chatbox more, instead of making it the primary one. Furthermore, I'd probably put it on the front page + sidebar in order to cover bases on the site.
That's just my two cents on the whole ordeal

I'd rather stick to the xat.

I agree with the Frost Keep both.

According to the poll itself, a majority of the site prefers that the xat and Cbox stay on the site. So by that alone, this should probably be resolved and I'm moving it into the old cases board.
