I personally dont think this place needs a chat room, its active enough as it is, with the chillout etc and now the radio shoutbox. Also, you cant mod a chat room, and chat rooms draw knob heads in! 
But on the flip side, it could be quite kool having one.

well the radio shouts shud b for radio shouts as it aint designed to be used as a chat room. it only saves 20 messages and is only 3 lines down and so its uses as a chat room for people to have a good ol waffle in is pretty crap. a proper chat room wud b a link in the nav bar at the top that says chat room and when ya click it it opens a window with the live chat in that. could also install summet that says whos in the chat room at the bottom of the forum.

Tbh I think its a bad idea :S
It would be very difficult to moderate and I think it will take away a lot from the board.
If people want to chat theres msn etc...
Just my opinion like, and Id prob use it if you add it lol!

i agree with those who say itd b better without personally i hate em lol. but i can jus see the radio shouts thing gettin hammerd and so thought there was a big need for it. maybe that will die down after a bit.
as for moddin em aye it can be a bit of a pain but i could make one that only lets regged users login to it and all entries to it are logged

I personnally feel a chat room would take an awful lot away from the posting bits we already have.....love the shout idea for the radio cus it gives direct feedback to the djs and the djs can talk back to us...ie for requests and ids etc...but like sweet says this forum is well active as it is....ive not really used the shout bit much anyway

Aye it is getting hammered recently. Seems eaiser to use that than msn for some people lol.
My only gripe is if your playing and you cant always get to check the shout box mid set you might never see any of the comments made through out. I am ok now as i have a wireless laptop next to the dexs but i know some people must have that prob.

if ya click on the radio shouts button at the top of that box is opens up the history where ya can look back over past shouts mateRetroAndy said:
im only askin as the shoutbox seems to be gettin hammerd and that aint what its designed for so even tho id rather not add a chat room im thinkin so we need one coz of that

Plus I do think the shoutbox will die down. All new things are a novelty and get used a lot more in the begining
Hmmm
I think the current Radio Shouts is top, so another chat applet would be naff as fook like.
I hate java applets, you'd be better getting a channel setup on irc if you wanted a proper realtime chatroom, where you can appoint mods that can kick and ban people properly, but again, its gonna mean moderating it.
There's been no problems (I've not seen) with the current Radio shouts bit, and I'm happy as chuff using that when its there, so I'd say a big fat hairy no to another chat thing.
As it is, I now spend more time posting crap and reading crap in the Radio bit, so it IS detracting from what I'd normally do and post on the board...
