Well the chat box is more random, it has no topic it is just live messaging of whatever people are talking about. So what they posted wasn't worth reading and they were just having a laugh, it will soon be pushed up by something else and then something else.

Forum Lobby Discussion
Pardon my ignorance, but I have been absent for a while because I'm quite busy.I just want to ask where the forum lobby has gone? did you omit it from the forum for good or it's just a bit of design modification and you will move it to an another page?will you keep the video chat or will you remove it as well?
Sorry for asking such a stupid question but I wasn't here to know what exactly happened.
Thanks in advance.
MMT ruined it for everybody.

There has been whining about the chat for so long that it has been removed for the time being. Hope that helps.
Passive aggressive bullshit. Tired of people pussy footing around their problems like the comment above. If something or someone is bothering you, take it up with them. Making assumptions on others behavior with a negative slant just because you don't agree with it is a sure fire way to look like the president of the drama club.

When, because someone who went as far as to make a thread bitching about chat as a feature constantly used it anyways and used it as a way of trolling/creating problems, mods instead of banning that person shut down the entire feature that I and plenty of other members thoroughly enjoyed using. It was a fun, easy way to socialize on here and enjoy ourselves and it allowed for a nice connected sense with the other users. It was purely optional to use it and I see no reason why they didn't just take it off of the forum lobby and moved it into it's own section if they had issue with it. It being removed had no productive reasoning behind it and has sort of ruined the site for myself and from what some others have posted other users as well, it just kinda' kills the fun. Not every talking subject warrants an entire thread and not every thread is worth commenting in so it's just irritating that we no longer have that miscellaneous area where we could all just talk instantly. Video chat is impractical for anyone without a webcam and as Iggy said, no one uses it without making schedules to do so whereas the IM chat was as the name implied instant and took less effort.
Bleh.

You don't need a video chat to enter the video chat, you can still just chat!
Also I'm pretty sure there was talk of changing how we have a chat box on the site a few weeks ago... it could come back or something new could take its place. Can't believe how upset people have gotten over it.
That chat room does not require a video camera and is just as instantaneous as the lobby (actually even quicker with less AJAX). The lobby was closed not because of any one user but because the attitude of those using it had been shitty for weeks. I had addressed it publicly that it was not meant to be around forever, and the problems going on in there - just found it time to take it down.

Okay then: I hate MMT and Dv5 for trolling so hard that popular features have to be removed. I know this place is much more relaxed than baby lol, but there comes a point where you either swing the fucking ban hammer or bow to the trolls. You've done the latter.Originally Posted by Cringeon
But there's never anybody IN video chat.
All that said, complaining won't change anything (unless I'm shangri-lie or whatever name he's using now), but I think it's clear people are unhappy with this. I've said what I have to say and I'll leave it at that.
