Title: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: Fisu on August 30, 2013, 01:26:17 pm
Hey all,

I've been thinking about making a chat in ambrosia, like "Fb chat" Just with all online members. I know there's a shoutbox, but maby some wanna make a privat chat and talk about staff. It's even easier to call an admin for a server.

Some people dont have Steam, and if they do they cant add friends, so I guess its easier for them to communicate via Chat in ambrosia.

I havent seen if this has been suggested once, thats why I suggested it.

Thanks

Regards.

I'd completely support this idea. Would be a great addition and as Fisu already said, it would help in such situations like calling admins for servers, especially if you are a nonsteamer. And PMs are way too complex  ::)

Like the IP.Board that we had ?? I don't think that it is compatible with SMF

I'm not sure what it is that IP board that you mean, but neither I know if there is a plugin like this. Maby some higher staff knows, but as an idea its actually good. :)

It's not really a valuable idea, because all these years in the past we have communicated thru Steam/ PM on Forum (which is similar as yours suggestion)/ skype / msn / facebook. I doubt it will have a good blast and I even doubt that that chat will be compatible with the SMF.

Let's not fix, what is not broken. :)

No support. Useless as we have PM/steam and other ways to talk with someone + it will increase the spamming on a person 8)
Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: Fisu on September 02, 2013, 12:40:54 pm
Well, no steamers, if they PM most the time its kinda harder to communicate via pm's.. and a chat could make it all easy..
Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: P o p a y on September 02, 2013, 12:43:22 pm
Well, let's not be selfish and add steamers who cannot add us? :)
Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: Fisu on September 02, 2013, 12:45:27 pm
Then let's ask a other question, if it's possible, why shouldent we add it?
Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: P o p a y on September 02, 2013, 12:48:04 pm
Well, there you have your suggestions Solved, in my opinion. :)

Then let's ask a other question, if it's possible, why shouldent we add it?
We can add 12948320984 more plugins or whatever its called.
Why shouldnt we add it ?

Post by: Fisu on September 02, 2013, 03:52:46 pm
Wasn't really an answer on my question, " It's like some do not support it some do, why dont we add it, for those guys WHO dont have steam, and are to noobish for PM's which is to anoying to make a conversation via PM, and for those who already have steam ect, they must not use it. But whenever it's here I'm pretty sure you guys will use it even you do not support it.

Anyone else have an opinion about it?
Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat
Post by: BloodyPro on September 15, 2013, 01:45:25 am
yes, i wanna say that i support this idea
so Ambrosian members can use it as a chat (like facebook) better then the pm

Post by: Raven E II R on September 15, 2013, 01:48:22 am
Don't you think you all have enough options? I mean the Forum itself, PM, Steam, TeamSpeak3 and other means of chatting..

If you ask me, I would say: rejected.. Since we have managed to "survive" all these years without this, we can survive for another few years.

Everyone can contact everyone, either through steam,skype,shoutbox,PM,msn,FB.. You got everything.

Tbh not everyone is willing to share any personal details with everyone.

People can add me on steam but i aint accepting everyone.

My fb, Skype or whatever thing there is is private.

I support this idea.
While i worked at KPN they came with such thing to discuss some things with each other and ask for help without doing a phonecall. This is just extremely usefull.

Title: Re: Suggestion For Chat

Well now I got other points here too. First of all this idea came after I had to do something like this in the homepage of my company.

people aren't always at the "Shoutbox" Mostly they check topics and look at them one by one, the unread topics etc. Some Highstaff has to do some admin things in it. And when they check the shoutbox, they might not see anymore what u asked, or that u need help to ban a cheater, or even that u aint there anymore. You can never know if there is in the sametime somone that u need.

But if there's a chat, you see whos online and you can talk to him if u need him.

tbh, i like it.

some players just refuse to get steam because they are nonsteam and because i really dont want my skype to be spammed constantly but not irl friends this would be a way to quickly get in touch with members on the forums with chat :)

i'm obviously not saying it's a must, but i would like it

Of course keep the shoutbox.

The suggested widget is somewhat like an IM machine/toolbar that is in the footer.

Whilst we may have all sufficient means to contact any members on Ambro.. Gotta admit that most of us are lazy and spoilt old farts. If it takes an extra click to get in touch with someone, by our standards today, that's a lost cause.

I absolutely support this idea, Im non steam user and i find my self in many many cases with peoples in the servers who keep breaking rules and i have no way to communicate with an admin since i have no steam. Brilliant idea , 100% support  :D
