As you all know, it was about a year ago when the first discussion about this took place. Back then, the shoutbox was going to be gone if I converted which killed all support for it but a year has passed and things have changed. There is now a build in shoutbox that can be used on ZB and with the help of two different codes, I can pretty much replicate how the current one works on here. I have a test board that can be used to test everything out as I try to find each and every code I have on here to see if I can find a ZB equivalent. Test board is to be found here where you are free to join it to test it out. http://s1.zetaboards.com/BZtest/index/ I just felt it would be a good thing to discuss since one of the major stumbling blocks has been removed. One of the major additions I will have is ability to use an actual working directory which will help in people finding us as well as having the ability to have multiple themes up. BTW, this doesn't mean we are doing anything at this point. This is to discuss it since things have changed so I figured I re ask the question provided the reasons why we all shot it down was the shoutbox issue that been fixed. |

Current codes used on this board and status of finding alternate replacements Shoutbox - now default feature of ZB with assistance of codes makes this work the same as it does now. Pets code - I do believe one exists so this can be brought over for sure so it's just a matter of me finding it. username color hange code - I can't find a working code for this so this might have to go. Will be updated as needed. |

I'll be here no matter what, so software don't matter to me at least. I could probably convert the old skins over as well. With minor changes to them of course. |

One thing about the shoutbox that I find annoying is the forced ten second flood control. you can't edit shouts nor can you make a new one till ten seconds has passed. If it was up to me then that flood control would be removed or dropped low enough that no one would notice it. I am no rush to do anything so I don't plan on making that choice in the acp till I have things the way I and everyone else wants it to be. |

10 seconds is nothing. You do something for 10 seconds and post again in the shoutbox. It's there just to prevent the shoutbox form being spammed in general. |

I think 10 seconds in a shoutbox is torture. |

lol if you think that way about it then I can't even begin to imagine what TSS would think about it. XD the shoutbox is for making short posts and forcing people to make long ones because they can't make consecutive shouts like they can on here just wouldn't work. Right now, the entire forum is on five seconds flood control which has worked well for us so no need to have to force everyone to a ten second flood control in the shoutbox while the rest of the forum is at 5 IMO. |

10 seconds.. I'm barley patient enough for 5 XD.. I'd be pressing the enter button for 10 seconds XD and 10 seconds is too slow/long depending if you are trying to have a convo with someone XD shoutbox post reflects somene talking.. I don't wait 10 fucking seconds before I talk again XD |

I don't mind five or even ten seconds on a forum but the shotubox really shouldn't have much more then five seconds which is long enough to prevent a post from being posted multiple times in a row and to make it difficult for someone to raid the board like has happened in the past here. |

So the only reason you never converted is because there wasn't a built-in shoutbox at first? Last time you were pretty protestant about converting to ZB to the point of disgust. |

^From what I've seen, yeah, that was pretty much the main reason. |

http://raptureif.com/index.php?showtopic=1468 I got a string of nos when it was brought up last time. Unlike most other boards which don't listen to their members, I actually do listen. They all said no, I told them what they would lose and no one wanted Rapture to go to ZB if it meant losing it. Just because I am the only one with acp access here doesn't mean I am the only one with an opinion that matters on here. So yeah it's a bit more then just the shoutbox but doing what the members want. |
