Harakiri Tiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Right now it looks like $40/month. I can afford it, but I gotta make sure there aren't other options that are cheaper and still good. Though this one seems to have everything, which is nearly a miracle because almost every dedicated chat software like this has died over the years.

Mom Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) That's a lot of money. I'm sure that if even 10 of us donate like 2 bucks a month we could easily cut ur costs down. As long as the chat is real cool. I'm personally not up for paying more than like 2 bucks a month though. Edited May 2, 2017 by Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegal Negro Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I don't mind floating you guys a month or two while you figure out a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Tiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 If anything I can pay for it for a few months to see how it works out, then if people like it maybe take a donation from you guys to help lower the cost yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 To be brutally honest, a chat hosted on site is near the only reason why the site is still a community. Without the chat on site, near no reason to have the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 That sounds familiar. It's almost as if I've been saying it for half a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well, it'll probably be a day or two before I can get another chat option up. For now you guys will just have to use TS and ACUi secret chat. Kortok and LS recommended just using my Twitch chatroom for now. It's not such a bad idea until I get the other chat installed and stuff. Here's the link for whoever wants it. It's a lot easier than using ACUi or TS I think. Niji Twitch Chat I'll be on twitch and TS, since they're easier to keep track of for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMERIAN BLOOD GOD Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 We can always use discord as well. I feel like that would be an easy solution though it wouldn't tie into the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Tiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yeah, I was thinking about Discord. Kak mentioned it, so we could look into that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirtless Crackhead Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) My vote is fuck $40/month. You could also use Chatzy, it has p much the same features, aside from logs as ChatBlazer, it's free, but it's outside hosted. Discord is a p obvious option, however, comma space, because of it's voice chat features; which would basically eliminate the need for a TS server. Edited May 2, 2017 by Donald J.

Py687 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Does Discord support custom emotes? That's the only reason I visit ACU. (Some of you are rad, too, I guess.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Yup I suggest if we're gonna do Discord, add a thing for the forum profiles to put in Discord code or however that works. I'm still lazily dicking around with it. Niji's discord por favor ^ I made a server just to dick around with things. Link shouldn't expire. If someone gives me the image files I can try seeing how to upload them to a created server. There is a limit of 50 custom emojis. Edited May 2, 2017 by Donald J.

SUMERIAN BLOOD GOD Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yeah my vote's with discord. You can use it in a browser which is the biggest thing, shows who's online, has lots of options for notifications, custom emojis, link previews, no ridiculous monthly fee. The only downside is I'm guessing there's no way to have it tie to the forum so clicking chat link takes you to discord chat with your username and everything ready to go; you'll probably have to sign up separately.

Tanakil Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm sure that if Niji really wanted to he could make it so that the chat button still directs to new chat, but the sign up is pretty hard to get around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 You shouldn't have to actually sign up, I thought I set it to allow anybody to enter. Lemme fix that if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTOKtheSTRONG Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 we should use twitch as long as possible because it makes 90 mad like really mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Tiger Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 ChatBlazer is looking like not an option anyway. It seems that their off-site hosted $40 plan doesn't let the service integrate with IPB. I'd have to buy an enterprise server license for that feature, which is probably some unfathomably large sum of money. I was thinking on it last night while watching BW. I could upgrade the old FlashChat hosting on ACUi so it's not as laggy, give it an SSL certificate so it's on https and then put a big red message on the sign-in/register page that tells people to not use their real passwords when they sign up for it. The other option seems to be a Discord channel yeah. It's up to you guys which one you want to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirtless Crackhead Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 No Stop being an autist, I told you I created/deleted the extra channels to show EB what I meant when I was telling him extra channels can be created. Niji is going to moderate it if/when he shows up. You can swap ownership permissions as easily as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
