Users chatting

**subnet_rx** · 02-08-2007, 04:04 PM

My users tend to "chat" in threads back and forth in my off-topic section. A few have asked for a chat function or a shout box. I don't necessarily like this though since these chats can sometimes turn into serious discussion and I think a lot of good posts will be lost. Is there a plugin or addon that would put these chats into a post, but give the user an instant messenger feel? Any suggestions?

What forum software are you using?

I'm looking for the same thing, i have an irc chat room, and i'd love to put it into a forum/thread somehow.

So, you are looking for a modification that would integrate a chatroom script into a thread/post-like interface?

What i would be looking for is something that takes the irc chat room log, and puts it into threads.

Well, I don't know of any modification that would do that, but if there is one out there, I would love to know about it, as well.

That would be a ton of posts if it took every line from IRC and made it a post! Not that that's a bad thing.

True, but what if there were some way to integrate a chatroom-like UI into a single post format? That would be pretty insane.
