Title: New Thang on my Boards Screen, and I just want to know what it is! 8)
Post by: hi123 on July 20, 2010, 08:52:52 PM: Ok, so, I have this new thing on my screen, when I get on the boards. It says Trumpet Blast! .

And, It goes like this-

drb1200 : yes Raven. toast.

Then-

New Raven BR : Toast?

Then It goes on and on and on and on and on.......You get my point! I was just curious. ! Thanks everyone!

Ok, I was looking at it, and you can type something, and shout it? Interesting! But, does it count as a post, and does it have to be on a certain topic ? Like Trumpet Blast?

It does not count as a post, and it is not centered on any topic.

I thought the chat boxes/rooms got removed because of confilcts in the past. So we're giving them another try?

Time for a multiplayer redemption game

Post by: The Schaef on July 21, 2010, 12:29:19 PM: A shoutbox is not a chat room and IMO wouldn't really work out to well for doing online matches and such. A chat room is not out of the question but the parameters about how and when and for how long are not clear at this time.
