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.

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
