Honestly, I wish the chatbox can just stay gone. After going a week without it, I already realized there were better stuff to do than that such as USING the forum.

I just think its ridiculous to move it on and off on a week to week basis. Silly really.

I guess so people who like the chat can get it sometimes but giving time so people are forced to use the forum.

Fixed it for you. Cause seems quite a few people just want it gone period. And some people like me don't care one way or another but just wish it was one way or another.

If you don't care if it's there or not, why do you care if it is sometimes there and sometimes not?

I just want the management here to make a simple decision switching back and forth to me is obnoxious and distracting I would rather either put up with it or gladly never have it be here again.

The same thing we always do.

TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

But seriously, we'll just keep doing what we're doing right now.

Keeping people happy. You're the only one really complaining about this, Nate.

It's kinda weird, but meh, could be worst

I get that it's weird and silly. I'm not denying those points. But it is a way that satisfies both halves of the situation. You just need to understand where we are coming from with this system.

Why not only have chatbox for 5-10 hours each day? That leaves time for using the actual forum and having time to use the chatbox. Does anyone agree with me?

That would slow down the activity too much. What we have now is fine.

Well, us mods could be super nice people and put the chat online only when all the active members are asleep :p

Hmmmm I don't know I like this. I can only be on here for a little bit everyday I come. Yes I can post and talk again the next day but I like talking to people and getting that direct quick conversation that I like. Yeah. Just saying.

Chat was confirmed to attract spambots

Because ignoring the chat does nothing to increase activity...

It's hard to organize collabs without it :c

The argument is that if there's a chat, people will be tempted to use that instead of posting on the forum, since that's a quicker way of communicating. If there's no chat, then you have no choice but to post on the forum, meaning forum activity will increase. I personally do agree that having a chat does decrease activity. However, it does also help build friendships and is nice to have around, which is why I voted for the chat to only be up every other week.

I feel like chat or not, activity is still pretty low. Only things that seem to kick up a lot of activity are major ERB announcements and when popular forum games update. I honestly dont think chat affects activity that much.

You do have to remember that it is the Christmas season, and a lot of active members are gone doing things with their families. This month overall isn't really expected to be as active as other ones.

How about, next month, while ERB is on hiatus, we test out a week with chat and a week without it. Then after each week we can have a mod or something (prolly Dion) check the weeks statistics to find out how many people posted each week. That way we can find out for sure if chat affects activity.
