    It’s not going to be the same 99% that we had with the revamp of the site now is it? For any new feature you should always aim for 100%, anything less will be a royal kick in the pants.

    Play it safe.

    Oh, before I forget. Will you be introducing a “spell check” feature for the commenting system? You know, like the Yahoo! Answers site.

    @Cherryshock:

    Being a long standing member has nothing to do with it really, as Adam said in the update, it makes it hard for people to just create fake accounts in order to harass others. :p Much like how you can't be anonymous either. I suppose you could see it as a reward but I see it as a deterrent to spamming and flamming.

    @Adam: Oh and that being said, I sincerely hope that we do NOT have an invisible mode. If we can't be anonymous then seems like being invisible would defeat the reasoning behind that. Unless moderators can see invisible members, but I still think not having it would be better.

    And though it goes without saying, I'll be glad to help out with the moderation Adam. ^_^ I love doing that at OB so I think helping with a chat would be fun.

    Ah... a chat room. Sounds like a good change of pace for theO. It's been quite a while since I've been in a chatroom. It'd definitely make it quicker to communicate rather than simply pming back and forth (and keeps the inbox from getting cluttered, too! =^_^=)

    Whether we have chatrooms or not, I'd still stick around theO. I love it here, even if I'm not the most popular member. It's just a nice place to relax and make a couple friends.

    We sgall see how fun things are with this. Congratulations on all your hard work with Project o_O, Adam. *thumbs up*

    Can we make more than one chat room?
    And with the people that created the chat room what kind of 'power' will they have to keep a hold of their chat room?
    Would we be able to have passwords on the chat room?
    I have other question but those ones are the biggest on my mind.

    Considering Indi blatantly *glare* brought my name to his attention, I'd say everybody. Besides, the seniors and admins only give him maybe eight extra? (Reference-less estimate) This kind of thing needs people on it around the clock.

    Given my online status, my abilities would be limited. But that depends on what would need to be handled and how it would need to be handled. Any and all pertinent heads-up information would be extremely useful to that end.

    Not only will our normal theOtaku staff serve as moderators, but we're going to let OtakuBoards' massive team of moderators have chat moderation abilities too.

    Wait... What?!? o_O I was not expecting to hear that. XP Not that I would mind helping out, that's just surprising. Though it makes sense that you want lots of moderators. It will just make keeping the chat from getting out of hand a lot easier.

    Anyway, should be interesting to see how it goes once it launches.

    Wow, that's a pretty big project, no wonder you kept hyping it so much! I look forward to trying it out when it launches!

    First, you include the length of someone's membership into member promotions, and now you have it incorporated into the chat system. Seems like you're rewarding the ones who've stuck around theO for awhile! That's a good thing though, just like you said, it keeps people from abusing the system, and for existing members, makes them think twice about what they have to lose is they start abusing.
