busybeeburns Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It shouldn't be too bad once there are various channels Currently thinking about a Lounge channel, Coldplay, Coldplay Live and WoM channels, possibly E&A and N&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well, having had a look at it the past few days while visiting: please get rid of the "person answered in thread" "person liked this post" thing while it is a one-room chatbox. Messages end up getting buried by people just doing stuff on the forum. It might be better when there are different chatrooms and you can sort the activity messages by forum into each room (if possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've been using this a lot since the day it started, there's been literally the same 4-6 people who say anything and of course we're not all online at the same time so it's very dead.

Coldplay Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Tbh I'm unsure how multiple chatrooms would be a good thing, like Reilly said only like 5 people talk regularly and maybe a few dozen people popped in to say hi during its history, splitting those people up would just make chat happen once every few hours, in which case why not just use the forums EDIT: If the chatroom wasn't so dead, the "X posted in Y thread" thing wouldn't be an issue, like I said I'm not negating anything, I actually like the idea, but realistically how would seperating the chatrooms make dozens of people turn up and start chatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of keeping the forum activity within the chatbox at the top of the forum, I don't think the Coldplay / Coldplay Live rooms will come during this quiet period. Generally speaking are most of the "chatterers" from the Lounge? I haven't seen much discussion about Coldplay up there. Maybe the Lounge is the best place for the General channel?

Coldplay Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There's a list in the Archives of how many chat posts people have made, here are all the people who have made 50 or more: Reilly 1094 Twisted mind 721 SuperFitz 524 Coldplay 453 Tnspieler1012 450 Mollyxyloto 450 Empily 406 Linus71 203 Coeurli 195 jeremyy 195 MrLick 164 The Doctor 148 Alien Radio 128 Papillon 115 Fraetes 112 busybeeburns 98 Cheese Nip 2 95 42JTR 87 TecHniCoLoR_MX 82 Troxley 67 I would say a majority of those frequent the Lounge, yeah Also Coldplay talk is generally ignored from what I've seen, stuff like "What Coldplay subsection do I put this thread?" and "Where can I find this Coldplay vinyl?"

Empily Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think having 2 rooms, a lounge/general chat and a coldplay chat, would suffice because I think the people who want to chat about coldplay are getting slightly drowned out by the general discussion. Also maybe the coldplay people don't want to chat so much because we all sound like we know each other already and don't want to join in? I'm not sure.

Coldplay Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 ^ Agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't think it'll make a difference but seeing as the only people I chat to are from the Lounge anyway that'd be fine, Ian did say this in the chat when it was first up (That it'd be split between General and Coldplay).

Reilly Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Oh I forgot to mention I like the rather random feature of showing who posted where, it makes us aware of who's online. I'd love to know how it decides which members posts to mark, or also how it decides who is in the chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospector Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 So I was away from the forum some days and now there's that box... don't know if I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Is there is a way I can disable this chat box whether I am logged in or visiting as a guest? Ever since it's started & my browser keeps freezing & not responding when I am on the site :( It also makes the pages load slower & I already have a lousy internet connection. :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Also getting irritating errors when trying to respond... I'll type something and press Enter and a pop-up box with title "Coldplaying Chatbox" comes up with no text undernearth. I'm guessing it's meant to display some kind of error message but it doesn't, and my message vanishes and doesn't go through when I press OK on this pop-up.
