uhm i think you dont understand a bit well the situation if you put the chatbox on the activity on the forum will be less because everyone will be on the chat box... if the chatbox was up again there would be more activity probably but would ruin the amount of posts in this forum... I think zidane´s the one to choose a idea about teh chatbox untill then lets just wait for his idea and see if it can be possible to turn it the way he wants to...
Well the chatbox will help so i can talk instantly 2 people instead of pming them and i people can all have a conversation with more than 1 person at a time. It may affect the forums a little but barely.
Cas we've had a ton of posts while we had the chatbox.
