    IRC should come back if thats what you mean by web-client, 100% against a shoutbox though as i said in your other topic.

    Shout-box is the same thing really.. It's a place to talk but it is not separate from the website

    I probably wouldn't use it as i just float in, see what new posts there are and float out.
    I like the idea though but i probably wont vote as it would be a wasted vote.

    He means an IRC channel for Digiex, i said it might be possible something like that could return if there was interest.

    I agree with you for the reasons about implementing a shoutbox though.

    I'm all up for bringing IRC back, I use it a lot. Though if we did I would like to integrate a bot which took the chat log and published it to Digiex. So at least if a User asked a question and it was answered, they could find it on the site. I'm honestly against any idea though which would make IRC a place for help, as the forum has a real purpose for that as I discussed.

    It's just a place to chat to others online at the same time :)

    If its something to go down, here is my view point as an Admin:

    Intergrate with Vbulletin so the Chat loads up in the Vbulletin Page like the old Minecraft Site did, using the Quakenet Web Client so people can join without IRC. Then add a tab to the top header called 'Chat'.

    What are other peoples thoughts on this?
