Chatbox log - 2008-03-03 - Zelaron Gaming Forum

[08:16] D3V: I guess now WW has just integrated it so that recent posts are showing up on the bottom, along with the popup window that takes away from the fun of it.

[08:16] D3V: More people we're using it when it was just integrated into the top right corner of the page.

[09:21] D3V: d

[09:46] icecool: hello everyone xD

[09:46] icecool: :)

[10:19] D3V: Sup.

[10:47] WetWired: test

[10:57] WetWired: OMG! Kagom is gone! Amazing!

[11:21] D3V: meh, nobody is anymore.

[11:22] WetWired: Nobody is gone?

[11:22] D3V: nobody is on* anymore

[11:22] D3V: it's like now the chatbox is the main screen, and the rest of the forum is smaller, lol.

[11:24] WetWired: I want to come up with a way so that the chatbox stays up in the same window while you're browsing

[11:26] D3V: isn't that how it was in the begenning?

[11:26] WetWired: No, I'm saying that my big problem is reloading it every time you go to a new page

[11:27] WetWired: That was the whole reason I abandoned the shoutbox and created the chatbox

[11:31] D3V: Well, it used to do that when I remember it first showing up as a shoutbox, it seemed to refresh just fine.

[11:33] WetWired: And your memory is poor, the shoutbox refreshed terrible

[11:34] WetWired: The first thing I did was completely rewrite the netcode because it was so bad

[11:36] D3V: The refresh may have been slow, maybe like every 15 seconds or so, but it was much better than a new popup or a damn scrolling chatbox.

[11:38] D3V: And, the activity with the shoutbox was up 10x as much as it is now, we had a counter before, but then so many different changes keep coming up, not that new ideas aren't a good thing, but it might just be too much.

[11:38] WetWired: The speed wasn't the problem, it was the way it updated

[11:39] D3V: Couldn't you just have revamped the shoutbox and make the refresh rate faster, and clarify and correct the way that it updated

[11:40] WetWired: I did, but the whole thing was sloppy, so I did the rewrite

[11:41] D3V: Ah okay.

[11:42] WetWired: I intend to add back a minichatbox and other options to the main page

[11:42] WetWired: but they aren't ready

[11:43] D3V: okay, well as long as the og setup isn't totally scrapped I'm okay with it.

[11:51] Mantralord: im scroooge mcduck

[11:51] Mantralord: stay outta me money bin

[14:06] D3V: NOTTTTTTT

[14:09] KagomJack: http :// img508 . imageshack . us / img508 / 3 ... awesomeuw6 . gif

[15:50] Mantralord: good job stealing a somethingawful emoticon

[15:50] Mantralord: just like you internet fags steal every other meme from there

[16:02] KagomJack: I hate you, Mantra.

[16:02] KagomJack: :(

[17:59] KagomJack: S'up WetWired?

[18:00] WetWired: Working on a minichatbox

[18:14] !King_Amazon!: I've had the chatbox minimized for like 2 weeks

[18:48] KagomJack: I bet you have, sparky

[18:50] Atnas: pooky

[18:50] Atnas: pooky is much cuter

[18:58] KagomJack: Atnas-kun

[18:58] KagomJack: :)

[19:01] Atnas: :)

[21:27] HandOfHeaven: :D

[22:54] WetWired: API post test

[22:54] WetWired: w00t!

[22:55] WetWired: I just saved myself a whole lot of future trouble by unifying the client-side netcode into a single set of functions in a single include file

[22:56] WetWired: The biggest implication is that multpile things that use the chatbox data can co-exist on the same page without a huge duplication of code

[22:57] WetWired: For example, to allow an enableable minichatbox to co-exist with a recent chatbox posts window

[22:57] WetWired: Okay, bedtime

[22:58] Mantralord: whats the deal with hyundai is it like some kind of retarded honda offshoot or something

[22:59] WetWired: No, it's Korean. I think they were intending that confusion, though

[22:59] WetWired: They own Kia, or the other way arround
