Forum:Instant chat page

OK, I was reading the Nexus and saw this thread concerning a supporting website or something, but in this I saw a very good idea given by Detectivekenny for an instant chat page. I would be a big advocate of this as well and I think it would help to bring the community closer together and aid communication efforts. From past experiance of instant chat boxes, I recomend we use Chatango as it is a free and easy to use chat, which can be put on any website. You can have multiple mods which could the TSPF members who are able to ban people & delete messages, but one person has to create the chat itself and they do have extra powers, such as giving & taking mod powers.

You don't even have to make an account to use Chatango, and there are 4 types of users: Annonomus users (represented as Anon**** (*'s are numbers)), an annon with a name, a user with an account, and a user with a paid account(they get fancy backgrounds & shiz, a bit useless really though in my opinion). Users with accounts can also send each other private messages too.

Each timeline could have their own chat box with the timeline creator as the chat master (assuming the timeline's creator wants a chat box for their timeline) and the other big contributors could be mods, and the contributors would be able to communicate easily with one another.

There could be a main chat page on the Wiki's main page too, which could just be an informal chat for all the users, and people can be then guided to individual timeline chats.

However I do understand that some problems could arrise with these chats like arguements & such, mods going overboard with their powers, etc. But I think the good outweighs the bad. I would personally only have a chat box for the main page of the wiki and then the main page for a timeline, as we do have the talk pages for communication and chat boxes would be best suited for big projects with lots of people contributing, whereas the good old talk page is better for people giving their thoughts and opinions on a timeline and then not really having much more of a say on how the timeline is run.

If the rest of you think this is a good idea then please show some support & we could make this a reality! VonGlusenburg 12:48, April 30, 2011 (UTC).
