The Vinculum

i like your site but it needs a way to comunicate t other members faster without any problems. by adding a shout box we would all be able to discuss our opinions on subjects within the vincilum and also say hello to our fellow zelda fans and fanfic writers.

Shout boxes are generally for blogs and such. Kasuto.net doesn't need one. It'd just get filled with spam like all the story review pages. If you need to say something, just say it on the Vinculum.

According to some other Vinculum member, 98% of teens say "I love you," and don't mean it.

I want to know what the Hell is wrong with the other two percent.

But I wanted to give a shout out to all the playa haters! D:

i think it has come up before and was shot down, though I'm not sure, and if it was I can't remember why.

I don't particularly like the idea. I can think of way too much potential for abuse. Half the messages would probably be things like:

i r teh r0x0rz lol

zelda's gay y do u guyz like zelda cuz he's gay?

I like kittens ^_^

No, I don't think it would work out too well.

i would agree with the person posted above me if there was no way to use the shout box without being logged in than no one could post bad stuff in there with out being caught. then you could just kick them off the site for not complying with the rules.

The Pros and Cons of Shout Boxes
Pros:
1)Fast Messaging.
2)A easier way to got a group of people to talk at the same time.
3)Anyone could see the Shout Box/Replies would be quicker(See 1)
Cons:
1)Spamming(Ub3r h@x0r j00 n00b)
2)Topics often gets carried away or switched.
3)Cursing(Profanity Filter?)
4)No privacy for certain subjects(where PMs will work)

If you have to log on, what's the point of having one? Just log on and send a message to some one. And it won't be very useful, because the other person has to be logged on ANYWAY, so it'd be easier to just use the personal messages.

Or AIM. That way, it's faster, easier, and other stuff. Not to mention chatrooms work just as wlel.

Yeah, but the AIM chatrooms are highly elitist and clique-y. With a shoutbox, you don't have to be invited.

_________________

The point of shoutboxes is that they're like chatrooms but not as real-timeish, which is perfect for places where a real chatroom would be a totally dead place.

And as far as I know, you can only send PMs to only one person at a time.

Another problem, though, is that there's a risk of the shoutbox ending up being the only active part of the forum.

Exactly why we should revive #vinculum. I set chatzilla to open the channel at startup, but the only person in there other than me is Sephy.
