It's been asked a brazillion times, but with Sunteam's le_chet potentially going away soon it would be great to get this chat room going again.
Aaron? Any chance it could make a return?
Arkhan suggested
QuoteSo go to Mibbit.com and connect from there, lol.
Or use kiwi irc.
They provide a button to generate a widget if someone wants to embed it somewhere. You can specify the channel/server.
#pcefx on irc.rizon.net
Have Aaron embed a Mibbit or Kiwi IRC chat widget pointing to my IRC channel right where the old shoutbox used to be.
It's only a few clicks to create said widget.
..... but is full of assholes? No thanks. :P
I'm down for just about anything, but the best would be chat on pcefx.
Freenode IRC allows for user registration.
I would like to see a chat of some sort, even if we need to use another site.

Quote from: Nulltard on 06/19/2017, 09:33 AMIf only there was another chat... One that is functionally identical to Paul's...
Absolutely, DoxPhile is always an option too. I was just mainly seeing if we could someday get the chat back here.
I have had #pcefx on IRC.RIZON.NET registered since PCEFX went down that one time years ago.
It's always been there.
Aaron or NightWolve could use Mibbit or Kiwi to create a widget that can go into PCEFX's forum layout at the top and ALWAYS be there
just like the good ol' days.

So, I'm on there now, but it seems that it requires friends. Too bad I don't have any of those... :(
You don't have to set up any friends. Ya just gotta go to the correct channel.

Damn 90s sitcoms, I hate that show.
FWIW Mibbit is blocked at my office, but Kiwi works.
I am idle in rizon irc, #pcefx and #pcedev. I am also idle on DoxPhile chat. I am idle on discord as well. I am active on paul's chat, because we're riding that ship into the fires of eternity

There are apparently a ton of cool IRC plugins for Chrome that I never saw before.
but really, if KiwiIRC's widget can be dropped into PCEFX's forum layout, that would be the most ideal so all you new people can see what it was like when we had a goddamn chatbox on our forum.

Chat box on here is so much easier and better than having it separate, would love to see it back.

yes, having to go to freeforums is why alot of people stopped remembering to go.
having discord is just as segregated, but it seems to be catching on because people were already registered with discord for other crap.
I mentioned putting a widget here for KiwiIRC to click to #pcefx on Rizon. that would be great if we could have a top level shoutbox again.

I am linking T2K's thread about stuff to point out something:
1) People here are legit unaware of the chat that is supposed to be for PCEFXers
2) As a result, more people were unaware of the lameness that happened.
3) Why didn't the organizers of the thing post here? Did they? Maybe they did
Anyways, here's a fantastic example of why having the chat not attached directly to the forum sucks.

Solution:. Export pcefx users table and import to DoxPhile
Brilliant! :D

Keeping this conversation in the mix is important, because the chatbox was really a way for the community to connect without having to jump to different sites. While I'm sure a lot of the older members wouldn't have an issue jumping to DoxPhile or Paul's site (which hays are numbered), it just makes things confusing and ends up sending people over to facebook.
What I'm trying to say is that not having shoutbox here directs traffic away from the site, and will result in lost revenue for the Admins. If the concern is to monetize this website so that we all can keep enjoying it, then having an integrated chat will only increase revenue through adsense or whatever other affiliates, and help pay the power bill for the server.
Arkhan is bringing up a really good point in the Discord thread. Instead of just giving our web traffic to another site, we should be supporting Aaron's efforts to keep the power on for all of us.
We've been talking about this for a week, but I haven't seen the reason we don't have one.

Predates my time here, but I've heard two stories:
1. Chatbox exploit led to site being hacked
2. Crazy disgruntled sociopath wigged out in chatbox and began messing with people irl and/or caused so much drama that Aaron pulled the plug.
I thought that 1. was the reason this forum is private, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore? 2. I think I remember hearing about that, but I feel that we get plenty of drama even without the chat.

but people keep saying DoxPhile/your chat was made in reaction to the PCEFX site going down.
lololol.
and yeah, the one reason the forum is private is because of Fighting Street.
Before that, you could see the shitshows in Fighting Street without being logged in.
We don't have a chatbox because Aaron doesn't really do anything to this site anymore. Nobody does.
The last big thing anyone did with PCEFX was send out a mass email about the HE kickstarter.
lol
Yeah, I'm aware.
It's just new people not knowing what they're mumbling about. I forget who even said it. They're confusing your site with Paul's alternate forum.

I saw stuff like this said about PCEFX a couple years ago, but nothing more recent than that. People on Neo hyphen Geo talk a lot of nonsense, and the reputation used to be that everyone here is a noob-hating meanie or some stupid shit.
Forums haven't been talked about like that in years, though. Everyone moved to Facebook or Reddit, with only a couple of exceptions.
Well, the Fighting Street is unmoderated as all hell, and there was some legit like "holy shit" stuff in there that you don't really want your average goober finding via a search or browse of the forum, lol.
Basically, Fighting Street is when you catch all those straight laced, nice neighbors out back, completely shithoused, with their dicks out, talking about punching babies.
That's fighting street.

Quote from: NecroPhile on 06/28/2017, 12:25 PMNo you couldn't. You had to be logged in to see that sub forum.
Thats what I mean.
and then that carried over to EVERYTHING after the chatbox shenanigans, didn't it?
I sort-of recall FS being viewable without being logged in at first.
Maybe for a short while it was viewable to all, but it was hidden from guests long before the entire forum required log in to view.
It's pretty hard to argue that the forum was hidden out of shame of Fighting Street, when the outside world (and spiders) couldn't see it anyway.
I explained that poorly, lol, I reread it just now.
What I meant was like, that was the first instance where we had private stuff going on that required an account/login.
and now the whole forum has that feature.
lol we should unprivate it and let the world see our stupidity. hell yeah.
offer up a large sum of cash to anyone who can decipher RegalSin's posts.
When it all comes down to it, at the end of the day ..... nobody cares.
I don't think that's really accurate, but OK. Thanks for your expected apathetic input. lol

I think that happened mere seconds after you changed yours, so that people could read them back-to-back on the first 5 pages of the shoutbox thread, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Dude, sucks that Nightwolve doesn't pay attention to this thread.

no I mean our forum signatures, you dingus.

Also, we really need to post more comments on this thread and get to page 8, so Necro's trash-talking of DoxPhile will go away
yeah so he can do it again and promote more use of shoutbox on pcefx by making us post more
Arkhan messaged me about this some time back, I can take a look on the SMF mod list to see if there's an easy chat module to add or look into other options as suggested. I'm too busy for the summer, but I'll take a look when I can at some point.
https://github.com/nvcnvn/NChat
people liked this one at some point. It's not using SQL so we probably wouldn't need to worry about getting fuckbanged again like last time
Don't call me a dingus, Garth.
Oh yeah, good ole shoutbox quotes.
It's kinda funny seeing what ppl have been coming up with recently, like links to pokemon trading cards, Scion xB tuner shit, and the Home Shopping Network.
Back when we joined people had sigs like FREE COCAINE and a link to their PS2 achievements and that was normal.
RoyVegas ruined everything.

Facebook then double-ruined ebay.
Then Tats became overlord of Facebook and now he has minions.

Cool, thanks for taking a look. I know Arkhan has a good one in mind that was pretty bulletproof.
Yeah I just suggested putting a KiwiIRC widget into the forum layout.
everyone's got their raging dickstiffies for Discord, though.
I'd be fine with that if it integrated nicely.
but, it doesn't.
Q: Any chance the chatbox will return?
A: Nope.
A chatbox connecting into a SQL server seems like a recipe for disaster.
im pretty sure the old shoutbox allowed sql injection hilarity, and that's how we got hosed that one time.
