    Lightbulb A suggestion to add to Arcade Prehacks.

    Hello everyone. I got a cool idea to add to Arcade Prehacks, how about a chat system, like Kongregate? This would be awesome, chatting with other players, finding fun glitches, general discussion and more. Even if there already IS a chat system somewhere, a chat system that works with every game (and has at least 5 rooms) will really amplify the experince. Thanks for reading.

    There was a chat box in APH, in late 2013 it was removed because of constant spam and lack of any conversations.

    like dagamet said the chatbox was constantly filled with continuous spam and real conversations were really rare if not none existent

    We used to have a general all-around site chat. It was pulled down due to lack of use (not enough people), lots of spam, and attempted password stealing (I was somewhat responsible for stopping those).
    It would be too much guest-user spam in every game-chat.

    It was rather spamming.

    Yep.

    However, I wouldn't mind an IRC room.

    A highly-advanced chat filter could work. Also, why is it hard to support active users?

    The chances that two or more users being online at same time is low compared to kongregate so it would end up (not counting spam) having a user post something in chat and logging off which some other user comes on and posts something in chat and then logging off and so on. The chat would basically turn into forum

    Honestly , A Floating Chat on the side of the screen that works on all pages as one chat room would be nice.. Can Slowly Be Updated to ban Spamming and use some sort of Keyword identification to block certain words such as the users password.. or anything close to being a phone number will be blocked, And the chat wont be open to non-registered users.. Since it will work on all pages theres a higher chance of it not ending up being like a forum , I Know i would use it for sure.. Gets kinda boring here since no one really posts on the forums here as often..
