I think this site really deserves a chat room.

I think it would be nice if all registered users that were online could instant message eachother so things oculd be done much faster.

I just thought maybe you staff members might take this into consideration.

Hey Boziban, you may want to re-read the Phrozen keep's terms of service, in particular paragraph xix

[jbouley]

Chat rooms, ICQ or IRC channels and the like are things we might implement at some point, though often people aren't on at the same time...and we're spread across so many time zones.

But if there's enought demand for it once we get past the current issues (like getting the download center back online), it's something we might consider later on.

Trip made a irc channel for modding chat a while ago, I don't know if it is active since I don't use mirc... read more about it here.

[Boziban]

Okay,
Thanks for letting me know, but hey, I mean this already the best web site I have ever set my eyes on in my entire life!;) You don't need a chat at all, I just thought it would be nice.

I do like the idea of implementing a web-based irc client to the site but I don't want anything detracting too much from the forums which we are still trying to rebuild up to their previous size.

Could the chats in the irc client be saved and used as a resource for modmakers such as the forum? If not, than its bad because much of what would be discussed there would be lost eventually...

One of the best thing in these forums is the possibility to search for a particular topic. That makes the Phozen Forums a fantastic knowledge base on modding in D2.

So the dissavantage of not having direct communication is in fact what makes this forum so usefull.

There are plenty of construction problems on the boards already. Let's get what we already have working right, then wait a few weeks so Phrozen can catch his breath and enjoy life a while.

[NewbieModder]

I agree. Once we can actually download things, THEN we should worry ab out trivial things like IRC implementation......

That's right, our bud Phrozen need a rest once in a while

I hope I din't sound like omg I need this irc thingie right NOW, I just stated my view on this subject

[Phrozen Heart]

This forum is still in the tweaking stage and I'm also working on the new file center but I'll see what I can do after that.

hey, the channel is still up, its on the gamesnet server on the channel #phrozenkeep it would to have more people come. i can keep logs of whats said in the channel.

[kneeko87]

maybe MSN Messanger would be a good idea, if you all use the e-mail addresses provided, then we could all chat because it has that function! It also allows you to copy text out by the normal highlighting methods! If you already have a Chat room, then never mind, but this was just an Idea!

[malice]

just a small observation: from my experience, chats tend to go off topic rather quickly, unless sessions are preplanned and attended by those who know about the stuff discussed (e.g. fixing druid skill+ bug). i prefer forums more since the (admittedly still tiny) effort involved in actually making a post helps keep discussions on course.

ok, i admit, i attend an irc-anonymous equivalent support group. it's too durned easy to get hooked to those things :/ anyway, good luck with the mods.
