Add chat feature - Andes - 10-29-2020
I think it would be pretty good if we would have a chat feature where people can talk about different stuff, you can add categories aswell, such as general chat / marketplace / threads etc.

You mean like a websocket chat? It is a cool idea tbh.

The reason i think this idea is useless is because the forum already has a Discord Server (available on the header of most pages of the forum)

Not all of us want to use these apps

IM and chatboxes are great for quick communication, but they lack substance. We're a forum at our core and these sort of things detract from that. I've already thought about deleting the Discord before, so adding a chat isn't on the agenda. We've used Cometchat and shoutboxes before, so this isn't a new stance.

Didn't even notice, lol. I don't love 100% discord, but it's better than nothing.

If It were a decade ago, I'd agree with this suggestion.

It's probably been 5+ years since we've had a shoutbox or chat.
