Pellet gun...? lmao, He probably wouldn't even respond to someone knocking on his door knowing how bad he is at responding messages.

Well i'm not gonna suggest a real gun >.>

Also i'm pretty sure he's Canadian, we don't hand guns out willy-nilly up here.

Feld0 is too much of a  female dog too come on here and re-add the chat.

i think we all know what we are talking about when you say that. Anyways I just miss sending funny gifs and pics to game collector. Remember that? Good times...

Isn't the chat room a pay for yearly? Isn't that the original reason it was removed?

The reason it was removed was because 90% of the people around here proved themselves unable to handle themselves in a chat environment, let drama from the chats bleed over into the forums, etc.

Ah right, that's unfortunate for everyone else.

Not really. Those that didn't cause any issues either never responded to anything or were always AFK.

Wll then it sounds to me like the people who considered themselves "mature enough to handle chat" consider themselves so because they never really chatted in the first place.I know on MLP forums, they removed it stating the same reasons, but I never saw any of the things they stated, and a lot of it was misunderstanding, since the people who made the decision never actually chatted there themselves. Is it possible this is the same thing?

Actually, most of the people that're claiming that were part of the problem.

I think I was unclear. i mean people who were complaining about the maturity in the chat.

Right now, I'm in no real position to add a chat. I'm a broke college kid now who is spending more and more time doing homework.
Right now, IPB Chat is out of the question.

I'm not opposed to chat, I just know I don't have enough time to make sure it would actually work.

I don't know if this forum can only use certain chat rooms, but I know for certain Chatroll would be a good choice. It has plenty of options, easy to use and install(even I could), moderation is quick and easy(experience), and only costs for the user unless they removed the fee.

I've talked about chat here in other topics, so I don't really feel like repeating what has been said before when I should be studying right now.

 

The chat fell apart because of the users.  In the end, it was sort of like this:

 

Any users who were banned for spam or trolling/flaming would complain or act like it is completely unfair (and end up convincing other users to start a movement or petition), making me wrong for banning them.

If a specific user wasn't banned, I wasn't doing my job correctly and I was the reason chat died.

I'd rather not deal with any chat services that cost money, I don't have much.  Feldo isn't in support of chat because of what happened on MLP or here, so he wouldn't back it.

I don't know if I have permissions to add a chat to the forum, though.

[Guy Fieri]

I think the chat should be given another chance at some point. But I don't know when it would be a good time to do so, and with some hefty changes. Such as a higher post requirement to keep away anyone who joins just to mess with chat. Anywhere between 50 and 100 posts would be a good estimate. By the time someone's posted 50 times or so, with all of them being generic spammy like posts, a mod/admin would probably notice and ban them. That is if someone will go through the hassle of posting 50 times. Or maybe enforce the fact that any major problems should be reported, something that didn't happen much last time.

Slap on the free version of chat that holds 5 members

 

Then if we all prove that we can handle that for a while maybe talk to Mr Feld0 about implementing a higher capacity chat 

 

Baby steps....thats all we ask for

I WANT MY POTATO YOU BUNCH OF GOVERNMENT INGRATES!

I enjoyed chat for the first year or so that I was hear, but then in the later year I started coming to it less and less. It started to become a drama house for everyone to release their anger and problems. Most of the people in chat were never able to handle the chat. There were only a handful of members that wouldn't engage in these arguments (I never tired to myself although there were a couple I gave my input, which didn't end well for me...) In the older days people wouldn't complain all the time or argue they had a conversation or a funny spam battle (and the spam battle never got out of control). Anyways, I personally don't think were going to see chat again unless something is changed. I would like to see chat come back, because I do miss it, but unless some new rules are put out I don't see it happening. I also agree here with Mitch, take steps to bringing chat back, maybe do a trial and error. If it doesn't work then return chat back to the shelf. I don't think we should leave it the way it is though. Regardless the biggest thing to bring chat back is EVERYONE here. If everyone here tried a bit harder we might see some changes to chat, or maybe even the whole site (which needs some help too)

Well there could be house rules with this. I think if you argue/hate your first offence would be a warnig, 2nd would be banned for a week or so, and then the 3rd offence would be banned for life unless you pay a small fee or something idk.

How about if you break a rule (notice the forum rules include a rule like making others feel like rainbow) you will be banned forever.

Even if all of us who cause drama were banned, there are bound to be replacements for us to cause just as much drama.

I just want the chat back because of what Villager said. It's funny doing stuff like spam battles. I also liked sending gifs to one another or funny videos or new and good fun stuff like that. We took all of that stuff for granted though. The reason why I want it back is because I think we could redeem our selves. We can do all the funny stuff I said and we could make this site a bit more exiting. The Chat room was my favorite thing to do here and when it was gone I was devastated. I am REALLY  desperate to get it back.
