Could I make any clearer for you somehow?
heh i'm amazed they give you the freedom to access this site from where you work, i cant.
Xfire i have but almost no one is on anymore.
and if you want more, find a solution, then figure out how to pay for it, for i have the impression even this forum costs joey money to run.

maybe there is a free solution out there ......

Hi Guys

The question of a chat room has been raised and the answer to that is yes, one can be put on these pages if joey agrees, first of there is many chat programs out there both free and cost, some of the free ones are basic but not bad ie:- 1- or plus rooms, the admins can have total control over the chat room/s if so desired most of the chat rooms either come in a code format or a small package and can be put into a separate page with a link from the main page, you would log in with name and so on, as for voice chat that is more complicated and im not sure if there is any free ones out there that can be used here.

Hope this helps

Yes indeed Joey is renting the space to host the forums. However we are working on fixing that (probably after the server gets patched).

A free chat program that I will recommend is FlashChat. If we do implement flashchat only registered users will be able to chat.

Flashchat is easy to use and members won't have to register to use it.

I didn't want to say anything yet as I just had to start all over and we don't know when it will be implemented, but I am currently making a new template/skin just for Joeyz Monster Madness Invasion Forums and will help him getting it set up on his server so he doesn't have to pay for anyone else to host it :)

If all goes well with the new template/skin I may consider making one or two others for variety 8)

I didn't even bother to see if there were other templates available :oops:

Oh well my template is a custom template just for Joey and will be much better than the generic ones available now :P 8)
