I take you all didn't read the announcement.
http://konamiwc.ogameplayer.com/announcements-and-updates-f2/chat-moved-to-the-site-t910.htm#10025Read it and watch the video. If this forum started out the time I was here I wouldn't allow a chat in it. Matter of fact visit any site, there shouldn't be a chat in it. Because the webmaster needs site pageviewers as well. Putting back the chat is like saying "delete the site and I don't care if it existed." And all sites that started out the webmaster always use a different forum host than the web server they used. Most likely you'll see Phpbb forums which is what we now use here. Meaning I made the KWC site from webs.com and the forum from forumotion. Two different server and I have to pay for both to be .com rather than to have one to be .com. (which can be very stressful on the bills, but I have to sometimes in the future)
The site's forum is this:
http://konamiworldchampionship.webs.com/apps/forums/(This forum was reelased on webs of Sep 08, 2008. Imagine we moved to this forumotion from Sep 28th. I was working on sites projects that has both equal forum and site base for 1 perfect bookmark and page visitors but I stop because of this forum's progress. Later on I went and try looking for a new site server which could use this forum as a portal and changes the name so you guys can log in to the site and visited the forum, but the host failed too. Link:
http://konamiworldchampionship.page.tl/KWC-Forum.htm?PHPSESSID=6e149b7f97e70f4c85756a46169d1c48)We would have moved to this forum around January or on the release of WC 09 which was what I planned on moving to one final site and forum (even tried to make my brother disagree on the moving back when I was absence and when he informed me about it, but the staffs had different plans and the project was already shown to other members which they all support - it would have been the same if I had told them about the site's forum and their profile update activities) , but since we've already moved to a new host once, moving twice just make this like a game of moving over and over again, which pretty gets everyone's uninterested and often lose members.

Also a site stands on its forum. Like Marriland he prefer not to have a chat.
Here's some sites I've checked that are famous and has chat in it on the site page rather than the forum,
http://serebii.net/ (was there before Marriland's site and has a page site rather than a Chat on the forum). The webmaster is smart enough to know that he/she needs pageviers.
http://setokaiba.com/ (famous OCG/TCG gaming site and the chat is used by another portal rather than to be used in the forum)
http://www.toriyamaworld.com/ (famous mange site which has a different page for chat)
Which proves my point on the chat page thing. All professional sites and webmasters knows better to separate a forum and a chat. You get the feeling of login in the forum to post and going to the chat for other meeting reasons or daily activities. It's the same same thing as log in the forum to view and waiting for someone to come and chat while you can do that in the site and open a new window for the forum (this is how we used to be in the past before we moved to this forum). That way the daily average visitors of the site and the forum is equal.
Please read the annoucement and the video I show. It shows the site's stat and everything of why I moved the chat. Also I wouldn't have done it if I didn't see other proffesional sites that has it too.
Now for the chat thing, I can use the one provided by webs, which is worst that meebo and is as slow as anything. It's the same style of this forum chat, all except it does not have smileys and doesn't show online users. Therefor I use meebo roms.
If you guys are fans of chatangle, then I had a chat made for KWC in there in the sidebar. I can easily go to my main dayvividnerdvillage account and widen it on the site's pages width and length, but you'll be needing an account. I'm not sure if it's better than meebo roms, but it's not bad and doesn't cloud my judgment when I used it.
Xat, I will not use because VenusRose cannot access to them as I've tried her in the past. With this being said there might be other people that cannot access to them as well, so again meebo is the best solution and it's what we used to have on the starting site from our old forum.
This topic is closed because it'll be leading to "I dont like the site's chat" comments like over and over again because most of you members that join this forum have been addicted to its chat. It's time we look for a new changes that benefits everyone.
Continue this topic on which chat we should use from the site from the announcements rather than more negativity of I don't like...
