Usergroup Live Chat

Has this been suggested before? I was looking, but perhaps not in the right places?


Make a chat box / live chat for usergroups / chats that are constantly updated for certain groups of people, etc.
-- Upon sign in, this chat should show who is online from your usergroups whether or not they have their profile hidden. You can always leave the chat, but always have entrance back in via the usergroup page...


  • The global chat isn't closed off and is uncontrollable
    forum tabs are a slower way of communicating / not as efficient at gaining attention
    inbox messages are unsolicited
    live chat isn't personal enough

Benefits: This might be a generational thing or a convenience thing, but I would love to see who is online in my group of friends that I can chat with...
This can allow clans faster / easier communication outside of their forum page as well as any other active players

Issues: Programming?
Does forum activity interfere with the sites "RAM" (lack of efficient terminology) capacity?

Are you aware that you can create private rooms in the live chat? Thats seems like the solution to me.

Not the same. Something like GC that opens auto for each usergroup and let's you know who is online is much different then something everyone has to open a new page and sit around in waiting for someone else to join.

This is why GC was much more successful than Live Chat, and preferable for activity levels.

So, basically private rooms for global chat?

There are several updates I want to do with chat. I'll keep this in mind when I get to it.
