What would be the limits on what we could have?
Would we be limited on space? Is there only so many features we could have here before it started slowing down the forum?
The forum is well-organised, and whilst this stuff might be nice, I don't see that it'd be worth it if it would mean increased costs.
It might be cool to have a chat-box. This could be used for shout-outs, random things, and also to invite people to go somewhere else to chat e.g. skype/msn.
It could also be neat to have a chat-room, and of course we could use the chat-box to say we're in the chat-room I suppose.
I suppose that if we are limited on space, there could be created a new sub-section of the forum, with sticky posts detailing various rooms. E.g. if we had off-forum chat-rooms, skype rooms etc... We could just had stickies with the details to get to these rooms. Also, people could post non-sticky in that same sub-forum to say when they'll be online etc..
