Sciforumers have proven time and time again that the more freedom you give them and more methods you give them to express themselves the worse it gets. Supposedly majority of the intellectuals can do nothing with their freedom of speech options other than whine and complaint. Bad idea.
Or bitch about grammar. You misspelled 'complain' and there is a 'the' missing between 'supposedly' and 'majority'.
That too.... and...suck on a lemon...I suck at grammer and I make no qualms about it. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Go over to the ever fascist philosophyforums, and you'll see what good a shoutbox does. (The answer is nothing.)
hehe, they got you too? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Of course, this is not universaly true. I run philosophyforums.info, and my shoutbox is purely "democratic" (liberal, even). Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Shoutboxes are nice. A option to have it on or off is good too. www.blamethepixel.com There is a shoutbox on the right side of the page along with a "word assoication" side bar, which is really fun I might add.
Yay, we're getting more people that like the idea. . . . I miss Combine. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The idea is retarded. You know what kind of crap would get posted on the thing? All the 12 year olds would be all over it like stink on shit. Maybe it would keep them out of threads though. But we'd be forced to look at their swill instead of knowing which threads to avoid. (By the way, not necessarily dogging the 12 year olds. More the mentality which is often possessed by people twice their age and not by the 12 year old themselves.) You all want a shout box? Dreamwalker set up some chat room somewhere. Go there.
Nah, that chatroom wasn't me, it was combine's idea and he created it. Also, for those who really want to, use IRC go on Freenode.net and then join the room #sciforums. I personally do not like chatrooms, so I would not create them.
Thaaaank you! This is one of the smartest things I've heard in sciforums for years! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (no kidding! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! )
can people be banned for being too childish/unscientific? if so, the a shoutbox could be a good way of weeding them out.
