I agree, or personal channels with live chat (1 on 1), maybe even groups.

I could think of tons of pros to Discord (and many cons as well of course), but I doubt we will EVER switch over to Discord.

I agree, cannot do discord. It is best to keep the chatbox. I had a server on discord, i used to share my cheats there, some dev got pissed off and that was the end of the server and my account. Chatting is allowed but if anyone shares an iosgods link to a hack or asking about help with cheats, that right their will be a violation of discord ToS, any pissed feg can just join and report. I remember telling DiDA that if anyone asks abt using discord for iosgods just give them my example 😛

Well, I think it’s clear. It just needs some tweaks, but it should stay.

The most popular tweak was a direct messaging option.

 

2nd was a way to get notified if someone quoted you in chatbox.

 

3rd (my favorite) was new rank of admins, just for the chatbox. 

Quote me if you reply.

Pros of Chatbox : 

1) it's in the site directly. You can continue chatting at a moment's notice and do other stuff at the same time. Not as easy in discord (eg. Safari multitasking)

2) It's easier to weed out ban evaders as compared to Discord

3) It's honestly much better than most stuff Discord can offer, and there's no nonsense about notifications and stuff. The backend can also be modified faster by the team as compared to Discord. 

4) No chance of random server bans which would effect the entire site 

Pros of discord:

1) You can add some functionality. Removing CB would likely make the main page load faster.

2) Easier to pin multiple messages or notify everyone about a certain message

Cons of Chatbox:

1) People ask help and support etc. This is going to happen in discord as well.

Cons of discord:

1) Ban evaders: People can make multi accounts much more easily in discord.

2) (1) of Chatbox

It's easier to implement changes we want to see to Chatbox than to Discord. The only functionality that Discord really has which we need is use of bots to auto-mute/auto-pay users in certain cases

 

To many words 

 

You guys have a discord lol never knew

Where is chatbox?

[Night Rose 214]

IMO I think you guys should keep the chat box, but I think that someone should always be moderating the chat, even if it means trying to get more moderators on your team to moderate the chat, anyone who comes looking for support or mentioning games that we were told not to discuss should be immediately suspended from chat temporarily and told WHY they were suspended so they know not to do it in the future. 

I personally wouldn’t mind helping moderate the chat if you guys need more help with it, just an idea.

I wasn’t able to use cb for very long but the short time I was on there it seemed like a cool place to come hang out with everyone. I don’t know what led to cb being removed but if it was for someone getting their feelings hurt then they just need to grow a pair and move on. Why should everyone suffer from not being able to get on this page and chat it up without someone getting offended. Maybe all that needs to be added is an ignore button where if someone you don’t see eye to eye with is on you can ignore their whole comments and vice Versa. That’s just my opinion but the site as a whole seems a lot....sadder without chatbox

Just re-login, I can't see the chat box.
