I would do this maybe, maybe, if it was demonstrably useful over an extended period. I.e., if they're as active or more active a year from now you might convince me. Otherwise my previous statement stands.Matoso wrote:You can put the chat client on a different subsite and have a link to it on the mainpage.

_~R~_ took the liberty to follow Jip's advice.
Check it out
Any chance VZ, RX, LOT would be interested in doing this, and use #armagetron.clans for the global clan chat?

Re: global armagetron clan chat
I would leave out #armagetron (please!). I don't think the main channel needs to be flooded with drama, gossip, and lols - there is enough of that there already.
Clan chat. #armagetron.clans. That's enough.

Re: global armagetron clan chat
A lot more players in this game actually use chatboxes than you IRC. Now I don't mean the people that visit this forum. Sometimes, in discussions like these, I think the regular visitors here need to recognize that there is a lot more players that don't come here, than do. I would also venture to say that most of the clans that come to this forum, are not the type that would ever put a chatbox on their clansite. As a practical matter, you have to keep in mind, that most players of online games like this never use IRC, and don't even know what it is. They do know about forums. And, they don't understand the valid reasons to not do a chatbox on a forum. For them, the chatbox is their IRC.Mecca wrote:A very small fraction of people use the irc... o.o

Re: global armagetron clan chat
Well when you have a lot of people already using irc, and you can infact install a chatbox that connects to irc (like the one on R site), why not get the best of 2 worlds?Mecca wrote:A very small fraction of people use the irc... o.o
Re: global armagetron clan chat
idk how its gonna go..but its working ok in that im posting "volumezero.forumotion.com post and challenge us to a war without having to register to our site!!!" and other clans are able to see it. the whole reason me and dukevin made it is to comunicate with eachothers clans easily..but idk how retarted it will get. It definately shouldnt be on the official armagetron site. just clan sites if they want it.

Re: global armagetron clan chat
We tried it for one day on the ID forums. The chat was so lame, it was so not worth it. So, its gone now.

Re: global armagetron clan chat
well im still pondering if its useful or not. it has its advantages because its easier to communicate and set up wars and tournaments with clans, or any other sort of news. its bad because..u have to look at retarTed texting. ive been posting the shit outa this. http://volumezero.forumotion.com/post?f ... e=newtopic <---post here and challenge us to a war!
Re: global armagetron clan chat
Stop that.retarTed
Try the irc chat, dude. It takes 2 minutes to set up. Make it join #armagetron.clans by default, and if you start liking irc (which you will once you realize what it is) you can even make your own chat room in there. Like #volumezero or something. You're also welcome to drop by in #rogue.tronners if you wanna chat with us

Re: global armagetron clan chat
...it's not the spelling, it's the word. Whether you spell it "retarded" or "retarted," stop using it that way.
Re: global armagetron clan chat
