A Side Chat Bar?

Hey, all!

I know I've seen this on other forums and wondered if it might be good idea to add to the CG Art Nexus forums. I'm not really sure what it's called exactly, but sometimes you see to the side of online forums a sort of live chat/dialogue bar where people post sort of quick hellos/checking-in's and that sort of conversation. Anyway, just some food for thought!

I think you are talking about a shoutbox.

Ah, yes! A shout box! Haha, that makes perfect sense given what they're usually used for--quick greetings and things. I was just thinking it might be useful since sometimes I can see other members online and would like to say hello, but don't necessarily have a reason to PM or that kind of thing, haha.

*says hello*

*hears hello*
*silently acknowledges*

Reads.. *Hello*?...

WHAT?

HELL-OH

OOOOO AAAAAHHH Al Pacino
