Shoutbox is TEMP
Okay, seeing as in the one day that I'm off doing other things (read: playing games) it seems the forums blew up. @_@ I haven't seen this much arguing...
But yeah, the staff are, for the most part, right. There has been a lot of spamming going on, and simply put, we had to start doing something about it.
vB3.7 is going to be offering a lot of new features that help develop a community, it's gearing more and more towards the facebook/myspace type of feel. And I feel that when those features are finally added here, we will also get more of a feel.
But until we can get that, we're going to at least try out this shoutbox. If it kills the server, the shoutbox is going away and never, ever, coming back.
Also, if it is horribly abused and we have stuff like "lol" 2 million lines in a row, the shoutbox is going away and never, ever, coming back.
If people turn it into a shouting match and it's arguement after arguement, the shoutbox is going away and never, ever, coming back.
So keep this all in mind.
Edit: Oh by the way, I can ban users from the shoutbox. Really easily.
