Get rid of chat
« on: July 23, 2010, 07:01:10 AM »
Seriously. Most of what gets posted on it is incomprehensible anyway (jns). Make people post on the forums.

Yeah. Pretty much the only way to make sure the forum will get active, is if the chat was removed.

Isn't the chat on the right side obvious enough to figure out what this thread is about?

the chat has pros and cons...

because us CW faithfuls will always be on and use the forums if chat is removed, but for noobs and other less integrated members, chat might be a fun/interesting aspect that draws them in. Idk, I really sit on the fence here. more forum activity would be nice, but cbox has its advantages.

I guess Overmind, but i wasn't sure considering I don't see how that will increase forum traffic.

It will force people to post on the forums when they find something wrong, or if they need more integrated help and such. Plus the little fact that alliances can bash each other in a much better fashion.

Seeing how there arent many alliances, and they're all NAPd any way, theres not much bashing of any kind going on...

It would be nice if there was an option to minimize the chat panel into the side.

This sounds really good to me especially since I'm on a Netbook with a smaller screen.

jns: now call ME a pussey and FUCK YOU LORD SWALLOW/YOU DONT LIKE HO\\\\\\\\WWE DID YOU THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
20/08/10 05:15
jns: BITCH MADE CHICKEN SHIT COMPUTER BADASSES?PUT THE HACKER IN FRONT OF ME?LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF WATCHING ME BEAT HIS ASS UP AND DOWN THE STREET
20/08/10 05:18
jns: IM SICK OF TALKIN,HACKER, I WANT TO MEET YOU FACE 2 FACE
20/08/10 05:19
jns: LITTLE PUSSEY ASS BITCH

Yeah, this is the sort of thing that will really draw new players in...
If you were a parent looking over some kid's shoulder playing this and saw the above what would you do?
The main problem this game has is getting people to play it - and that is what people are seeing when they log in?

The game is as good as dead then.

Personally I don't give a shit what he says, but let's think of the image it portrays of the community.
