Roleplayer Guild - Forum Roleplaying Games

I was wondering why there isn't a chat box on this site, give people a chance to converse about random things while on the site and waiting for others to reply to an rp...... I've been on a few sites which had these, and they weren't exactly RP forums..... but still it was fun, having little arguements about little things ^_^ Anywho..... just a thought =)

Lol! I was wondering the same thing just a few minutes ago. x3
I think it's a good bonus to any site, and especially a roleplay site. They have one on The United Literates and it's really funny to watch them randomly talk about life, plots, characters and all those random things. Plus, you get to bug people for posts that way. :3

The chatbox is currently in the works.

This suggestion has been looming for quite awhile, but the Admin's assure us that it will be put up soon.

Perhaps a room on an IRC server could be a temporary solution in the meanwhile.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before.

Come and chat with us. RPGuild IRC Chatroom.

More than likely it has, and let me be the first to say, I'm happy to know that someone knows about IRC. I have an Add-On with Firefox that got me connected to some IRC Channels, and I must say, it rocks. ^ ^

I am sorry to resurrect this thread but I just want to make a suggestion about a form of live interaction between the members of RPG. I understand Mahzkreig (sp?) is particularly preoccupied (so I've read in threads dating back a few weeks at least) and I don't blame him at all; I can certainly relate. We have all been attacked by the Demons of DothisnownotanythingyouwanttobutthethingswewantNOW NOWDOITNOW, and I offer my support.

This suggestion has been rattling around in my head since not long after I joined and I have just been going crazy waiting to see someone else say something about it, so that they (and not I) can get yelled at and I can get away Scott-free (no offense to Scott, if you're a Scott). Unfortunately I only have so much patience until this little voice in my head says DO IT DO IT, so it looks like I have to step out of the shadows for a brief moment and take the risk.

I mentioned two posts ago that the Moderators could open up an IRC chatroom (that's Internet Relay Chat, a vast network of people who REALLY don't get out a lot) on an EFnet server or DALNet or Slashnet or FreeWMDSnet or whatever. It's fairly simple to manage and it takes no set up or coding, just a little room registration if you want but any Mod could take care of that. Not only does this create a general chatroom for the various members of the RPG forum BUT it opens up the possibility of branch-chatrooms.

You see I can't help but fear that one single chatroom would easily become over-crowded and become the plaything of the talkative, leaving us lurkers and shyguys to watch the text scroll up faster than a treadmill can launch a small pet into a wall on a hilarious episode of AFV. Instead, being able to branch out into separate chatrooms (perhaps for one particular RP thread, or for personal live RP, or just to chat about Advanced or Casual RP ideas, or to just talk about the economy or politics because lord KNOWS we're tired of that topic and it needs its own corner of the universe to just fester by itself where no one has to pay attention).

We wouldn't HAVE to branch out, but just having the option would be able to allow the Mods/Ops to ask that the people that have been discussing X for TWELVE HOURS and getting leery stares from the people who want to talk about Y can make their own chatroom instead of kicking them out with their big e-boots or something equally tiresome. Makes life easier for everyone.

Anyway that's my two cents. For the size of the post it may be worth almost three cents, but whatever, I'll have my accountant look at it and send a bill. If it's a horrible idea feel free to decline, I'll be happy just having suggested it, but if you like it I will be happy to take any and all credit. I take my thanks in the form of cash or 90s music mix tapes, take your pick.

If you're interested in more information please choose from my impressive list of IM names, send me a PM or just post here to tell me what a god awful person I am and how I should have never come here to write such ridiculous rot.
