Wouldn't IRC be easier? We used to have a channel, and could set one up again.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

IRC is little more than prettified telnet, and there are in-browser clients you can use.

if your office blocks IRC you probably shouldn't be using a chatbox on a forum either. :P

Eh it'd be easier to manage though wouldn't? Why separate when you can consolidate into Backstage? Then again I don't know what Backstage's backend code looks like so maybe it's too complicated but...meh.

Disabling guest posting would help resolve this potential issue if we considered abuse of a chatbox system to be on par with breaking any of the other rules on Backstage.

On the other hand, a nice thing about IRC is that if you set a channel to +m you have to explicitly grant individual users the ability to speak, which completely bypasses the issue of "register account, shitpost, lol".

Having a different policy, for something associated with Backstage, is a bit of a can of worms, no? or indeed, a stick to beat the Backstage staff with.

I don't see why we wouldn't treat the chatbox as just like posting on the forum normally, which was the point.

Only giving people who're registered users of the forum +v in a +m IRC channel (aka, allowing them to speak) is the same thing, in effect, as us not allowing guest posting on Backstage (we don't).
