Chatbox (unclosed thread version)

[Atlas23]

Unfortunately I missed the creation and untimely demise of the Chatbox. However after reading about it, I have some important questions.

What is it?
Where did it go?
Where did it come from?
When can I use it?
Is it ever coming back?

I think it would be a great tool to ask Magnolia some quick-fire questions that aren't worthy of an entire thread being started for it (ironic considering I started a new thread for this? No, it's not ironic)

So, I beg of thee, answer my questions before sentencing this thread to the same fate as.. CHATBOX

It's a chatbox, I reckon it's been and gone. Exploited too much. Everyone put gif's etc in it and therefore ruined it for everyone.

I heard they stumbled upon an ancient burial ground. Doing so opened a rift in time where a chatbox existed. This rift was then closed once they defeated the bangrodan, a frightening reincarnation of the devil himself.

That's what you think.

just testing for another purpose - got enough information so turned off.

We won't be added a chat room.

Can't a guy ask a question around here without having his butt shut down?

I prefer the burial ground answer.

We need an OcUK IRC room that people actually use and that's hooked up to the forum DB so we can log in.

Might have it's uses in the OcUK customer services sub forums for real time sales and tech queries, requests and support perhaps?

That's how they tend to be for the first week and then everyone stops using them once the novelty wears off

I guess it's a lot harder to moderate as well

Yes! Sensible question reducing chances of thread closure and 'inbe4 lock' comments
