wannaBstuntin Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Honestly, I think the shoutbox killed HF. I was on board with the shoutbox at first, to cut down on the BS in threads. But the BS is what made HF interesting. Let's leave the instant messaging to the instant messengers, and keep this place what it is - a forum. I say, burn the shoutbox!!

Pballer2005 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 i don't use it so i could care less. the random thought thread seems to be doing its job and i haven't really noticed any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Only 4 damn people talk in it, so I hardly think it did anything to HF! Honestly the only reason I really came back at firstly was because of the shoutbox. It was more the petty bitching and moaning that keeled it. >_< Only reason it has slowed so much, is there are not a billion flaming posts!

Xeryon Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 What killed this place were the 10 or so regular posters that all decided to stop posting at about the same time. Their leaving just happened to occur at the time of the SB going in, but I don't think those things were related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 That's true, a lot of people just seemed to disappear with no warning. However, I think the people that ARE still around might post more if there wasn't a shoutbox. Just a thought though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Myself, I prefer the quick chat for communicating with friends (HFers). I am, and always will be, and IRC whore. I love old skool chat rooms with 20 different people chatting and 10 conversations going on at one time. I tend to not create new threads as it were, so the addition or absence of SB would not affect my posting capacities. Way off topic: but let it be known that you have a standing offer to purchase your wheels if the day comes that you replace them. I loves me 15 spoke goodness.

Velocifero Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Keep it. It's a weird little quirk for the forum. I jump on, talk sh*t or say dumb sh*t, check the posts, and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their leaving just happened to occur at the time of the SB going in, but I don't think those things were related. Yea..many people have gone absent. I've more or less started posting a little more often.. To say that I wasn't a pretty regular poster would be stupid. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You all have the option to Hide the SB from the main page, which I do. I never even see it. I think we'll keep it for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thank you. I think Ashley said it best earlier today "HF is not a chat room". SB certainly prevents the forums part from turning into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
