EDIT: And while I'm here, IRC plugins rely on IRC. Which is fine but it means everyone needs a separate login, and mods would have to login otherwise we lose the channel / their rights (which has happened before when the #codex channel was taken over once and nobody cared). Ideally I want something integrated with XF so there's no extra login required.

On rizon the expiration takes effect for 90 consecutive days of absence. Logging once in a while to avoid reaching 90 days shouldn't be too hard. Unless you want irc to scale to your level? :smug:

You can even set a Channel Successor. What that means is that if someone let their nickserv registration drop (90 of not ever logging whatsoever) their power can be transferred to another selected as the Successor.

And then you always have the option to use a bouncer for the channel Founder account.

DU is right about the IRC complications. It's never going to be sufficient. It doesn't matter what other features it has, if it has separate logins then the arguments are void.

Personally I had no problems with the original shoutbox but I can see the benefits in multiple chatrooms with separate topics.

I never liked IRC.
And I'm a programmer (afaik, we're supposed to like it because, uhm... it has bots and scripted stuff and things).
It absolutely makes sense to have a chat system using the same user accounts as the rest of the website.

Wait a moment, was Darth Roxor writing to Jesus to stop the chat? Wow.

please, give them whatever they want. shoutbox is the escape valve for GD shitposters, without it GD will become (can you imagine?) even worse!

The new chat sucks. Emotes don't work any more, the stupid bar at the bottom of the browser is intrusive, and I'm getting trigger warnings ALL OVER THE PLACE whenever I see someone like DDZ listed as a "mod".

Revert it.

Or just host your own fucking server and make nickserv drop after 5000000 gazillion years.
