Per subforum is what I'm saying. Say I click on the Call of Duty section subforum, and instead of having to go into like 250 topics to start posting things, I can just start posting in a chatbox. Give the chatbox a mute button so any

spammers can instantly not even be seen. The mods can have moderator status so if they see anyone spamming or posting anything bad they can simply kick them from the chatbox. Just thinking it would save a lot of site memory or

problems due to the fact that someone wouldn't have to PM constantly, and you wouldn't have to make a topic to ask a question.

Or say you go to the trading section, and since there are about 25000000000 topics being made, you could simply ask if there was a specific one you were looking for and if that person was trying to trade the item and you were

asking for it, they could go to a sidebar that lists all the people there, click on your name which would take them to your profile and PM you about the info, maybe the topic itself or just ask them about their offer.

The sidebar with all the names listed would have to have a scroller bar, something with the whole scroller bar so it can hold all names in alphabetical order without taking up too much space on that side of the screen.

chat box is spam

also people have things to do so they post and come back

forums is more effective

I like it, could be for the more active fast trading kind of people

Diablo for example.. SO many early bumps / +1s and what not takes hours to get 1 item sometimes! or even ages to sell an item when can simply go to chat box and be like

yo anyone need an um? i got one here for x amount of fg

etc etc, i see where your coming from kyle also would stop these continuous spam topics in many sections

there could also be like a spam warn kind of thing? lets say you type something over and over quickly to flood the chat simply auto kick for 24 hours from the chat box and after so many times perm ban from the chat box? or simply auto mute them to everyone until the person unmutes them?

In a nutshell, this

Quick Filters + mIrc

i have never had a promblem using the forums

and like i already said the chat is made for people online thats at the p/c non-stop but there is time that people have to be up and down

meaning the fourms would be more effective

not to mention illegal trade will be going on (topic + pm's needed)
