Flamebate IDC: Internet Delay Chat

A few days ago I mentioned we’d be launching a new feature as a test. That feature is now live, and it’s called Flamebate IDC: Internet Delay Chat. Props to IrascibleRedoubt for coming up with the title.

It’s a live chatroom open to all users. Please give it a shot and see how it works for you. We’re interested in how it affects the site performance and stuff like that before we roll it out on a larger scale.

The plan is to have multiple chat rooms, including Klan based chat rooms (which should get live updates during raids!) and to add all sorts of other cool features, but first I have to make sure the technology underneath is solid.

New Stuff

  • Your character name links to your profile on more places, including your character tab.

  • Better formatting of long character names.

  • Added a bunch of new word types for ForumBuildr v2.0 Beta:

    • @toolhand
    • @prefix
    • @kill_presenttense
    • @distance_short
    • @distance_long
    • @snacksplural
    • @states
    • @actionmovie
    • @animationmovie
    • @funnymovie
    • @documentarymovie
    • @dramamovies
    • @horrormovie
    • @mysterymovies
    • @romancemovies
    • @scifimovies
    • @sportsmovies
    • @warmovies
    • @westernmovies
    • @sextoy
    • @bondagegear
    • @piercing

I think they’re pretty self explanatory :)
