Forum:Chat feature

There's a new Wikia chat feature. It's a Special:Page that functions as an online chat. Registered users are able to use it to talk with each other in real time without making any edits. It's somewhat similar to the IRC channel. Unlike IRC it's directly connected to your Wikia account, so there's no set-up or extra registration required.

It's still only being tested, but wikis are able to request to have it setup. I'm wondering if we should have it setup? It's won't be a replacement for talk pages or IRC. Important discussions should still take place on talk pages.

You can have visit Special:Chat on Wikia Central if you want to see what it's like. Don't worry, your IP won't be visible. Handy features like timestamps don't exist yet, but should be added soon. Admins and staff are able to ban users. (It currently has an odd setup so admins can't unban users, but that should be fixed too).

So anyone in favour/against having it setup here or any questions? -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:53, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
