And is the chat box going to be a no holds bar nws place moving forward? If so, it does not need to be front and center on the forum in my opinion. It is getting really bad at certain points of every day
It isn't about turning it off. In it's current state it is the first thing you will see on your first ever visit. My point is that if we want to keep chat as it is now (fine by me) then we don't need it as our welcome mat.
assuming the only people who can see it...are registered users....i dont think its an issue with being the first thing there...in terms of content discussed in the box..most registered users know the types of things discussed on this forum and guest cant see it therefore the chances of offending someone who doesnt understand our humors or personalities is close to zero
