    Lightbulb IBF Instant messenger

    I thought may be Admin should integrate an instant messenger with this forum . Which allows us to im with select users (a friend's list maybe) .... available only to registered users

    ->It will reduce spam discussion posts
    ->Encourage people to register
    ->increase rapport between active members ,thus encouraging more users to become active and will help in increasing IBF's community size

    opinions invited

    Pls vote in the poll

    A chat box would cut down most of the hi, hello, good morning, good night spam.

    yes, i agree. Has'nt this been suggested over and over again, that , we need a shoutbox. Everyone's already in favour of this, only that admin has to approve it.

    We dont want ppl to stop posting in our threads and move over completely to some other form of communication

    A facebook style im

    ->Will be easy to access (may be at the bottom) like FB itself ..... while u can still browse a thread
    ->allow you access to only a select no of friends (based on invites maybe)
    so you still keep posting articles
    ->be really quick ...not having to wait foe a page to refresh everytime to see a reply

    i think includnig a facebook kinda script will bring more hard to the servers, better would be something like guest/shoutbox.

    And server resources are not a matter of concern... anything to keep you lot happy

    An auto refresh sort of shout box that you might have seen before on the massive forum I used to rum "back untill 2005" is a resource killer and will be too heavy on those who have a limited bandwidth connection...

    By the way how many of you are from the "old" forum? do you remember the shout box we used to have there?

    maybe we can even have a small toolbar or an applet that the user downloads .... a mini IBF messenger that integrates into the web browser ... would it make it easier ? ... uses the same user name and password

    Don't worry about the posts... the forum is backed up regularly and the backups stored at "three" different places..

    And if tomorrow I die in an accident ... this forum would still keep running and be taken care of Ask your grand children to come and check this forum and your posts after 50-60 years and your posts would still be here provided the internet still exists..

    I think the suggestion is good but still I think forum can loss their main focus also.
