    Thank you clutch for making clutchfans happen, and giving us a place to come and hang out and talk about what we enjoy!

    As we all know clutchfans and rockets talk are a 24-7 affair.

    I just wanted to know if you could... and if it would be a good idea to insert a live chat room interface that is visible when you are on the bbs. Or front page, where you can talk to active members that choose to chat live and interact with each other. No matter what time or day or night it is.

    It would make clutchfans even more interactive and fun!!

    Sounds like a good idea. Might cut down on some of the nonsense threads

    Only problem Id see is that it wouldnt really be moderated and it could get out of control.

    This already exists. The green light by a poster's name means they're online and you can message anyone directly and personally need be. The tools at this site are incredible without clutch changing even a small detail that doesn't already exist.

    I think he meant something like Twitch chat, where on the right side you'd have a live chat room while surfing through the forum, and not just a DM/PM to a specific person. Clutchfans always had a chat room, but its rarely ever used (on home page) maybe because you can only use chatroom and not browse the forums when you use it...which is what most folks come here for

    That would be better. I didn't know there was a chat before. Would be nice chat at the bottom instead of the similar threads. Or be able to collapse that and the chat be all the way st the bottom.

    Idk if clutch would want that or if it would take too a lot of resources.

    It will very common to kick someone out of the chatroom if it is moderately regulated.

    There has always been a chat room here.

    http://www.clutchfans.net/chat.cfm

    I know this because I used to keep a moderator bot active there and DrOfDunk was main mod there before me.

    It was normally only used during games before people started using the game thread instead, but it was always open for members to use at all times.

    I realize this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it is what we have here.


    BTW, moving this to Feedback because this does not belong in GARM
