Shoutbox good idea?

[gearhead]

Kinda nice for chatting real-time, IMO.
Just a thought.

It is, I just want to wait a few more week when we get more members/posts. But who knows, the chat could bring in more members. Never know.

Chat box isn't a good idea yet. When you get a bunch of members in here it would work, but at this point the posting needs to happen on the open board. Keeping activity up will show folks it's active enough to join.

On a site like this you need between 50-75 members just to get a good traffic flow throughout the day... At that point a chat box will be a great idea...

 

[gearhead]

Okie, good points.
No one would post if they chatted all day LOL!

 

[dietz4ibanez]

where have you been gearhead?

 

[08PILOT]

So, it's 2011 now, going to revisit this idea?

 

[dietz4ibanez]

I think it would be worth looking at if we had a couple more daily post whores. We actually have quite a few just some have been really busy lately!

There have been a couple who have been out for a few weeks now.

 

[08PILOT]

We have it on our site. (Not on main screen unfortunately)

 

[dietz4ibanez]

Your site also has a ton of members! At least twice as many and about 42k more posts... So yeah that would be a great feature there.

I am sure that we will try it sooner or later.

 

[08PILOT]

Maybe so, but hardly anyone uses it now that it's not on
the main page anymore (Need to ask Shaggy about that)

 

[dietz4ibanez]

Is that site a Shaggy site?

I guess that I missed that... :lol:

 

[08PILOT]

No, but he might have some insight

 

[dietz4ibanez]

Send him a pm!

 

[08PILOT]

Plan to after I figure out what to ask :lol:

 

[dietz4ibanez]

I usually start by calling him names and go from there.

 

[08PILOT]

:lol:

Well, to be honest, I have it on 2 forums

www.gmfullsize.com and www.tahoeyukonforum.com

With it on gmfullsize.com, it really didn't effect post count as the forum is huge. Now with it being on tahoeyukonforum.com, it did hurt it. I will want to put this on as its a great way for members to get answers to their questions quickly and to bs together, but we need more posts on the forum before you add a chatbox/shoutbox.

 

[08PILOT]

Shaggy, PM me your e-mail, I got shoutbox ?'s

I have a bone to pick with you about gmfullsize.

I used to have more posts until you made the offtopic sections post not.count.

I have lost interest in posting there.
