What about a shoutbox?

Post by Stablo87 »

Would it be possible to get a shoutbox? Maybe for the top of the page so members that are on can chat and have quicker responses to problems or questions they have? Also i saw a thread where there used to be a garage feature, is there any way to get that back? IDK i just thought that would be neat

With the shout box, someone may ask an important question, and it will never make it to the permanent forum. This could be good and bad....
Good - waaaay less useless and redundant posts
Bad - permanent info stops

Unless we had someone constantly watching it who knew the forum well enough to notice if something brand new came up.... but that is unrealistic.

Anyway, there used to be a chat room along with the garage, but when the site updated, those features went bye-bye. :(

It would be nice to get them back, especially for us that are at work all day with nothing to do.

I agree but that's why ppl have AIM and MSN... but it would be cool to chat just to the ppl on this board that are online :mrgreen:

I never realized there was a chat room on the old board :?

What was this garage about? Just a place to showcase your car? I only ask, cause I may be able to make one specifically for this site, or at the least get in contact with Jeff and talk about me doing the coding work to get it running again.

It was mainly to showcase the mods you've done to your car and how much each thing cost. I believe that was the garage.
