Navarr: It uses the best technology available for the time it was built |
TheConceptionist: > late 2000s/early 2010s |
Toxikyle: Wasn't it built in 2007? |
TheConceptionist: i see the issue |
Toxikyle: I know back during the days when forum rp was actually a thing, a lot of forums had offsite IRC chatrooms. One board I was part of tried to have an integrated chat instead. It... did not work |
TheConceptionist: granted, something like an IRC extension would probably be the closest analog to the chatbox, but discord is the most consistent and feature diverse platform at the moment |
Toxikyle: Yeah, I guess with upgrading or replacing the cbox, the first question will be "why not just use the discord?" |
Toxikyle: And there probably won't be a good answer |
TheConceptionist: i desperately wish that discord had some sort of browser embed for you to be able to look at a server, but alas it doesn't |
Toxikyle: It would be nice |
TheConceptionist: the main inconvenience is actually having to actively go to discord, make a separate account there, and then remember how to join |
Toxikyle: I still don't think we should get rid of the cbox, if for no other reason than safety |
TheConceptionist: although brutish, having everything in one place is arguably better ux |
TheConceptionist: then again, i'm not a professional like Navarr, i just make discord bots on the side |
TheConceptionist: ~~which i wouldn't mind making some sort of cbox-discord bridge provided a proper API~~ |
TheConceptionist: god i wish bbcode had strikethrough |
TheConceptionist: or maybe it does and it just isn't listed |
Toxikyle: it does |
Toxikyle: I mean, when the whole site broke, the cbox was the only bit that still worked perfectly. When the Discord came in, the cbox remained here and somehow kept being used despite it being useless |
Toxikyle: I don't think it's possible to remove the cbox anymore |
TheConceptionist: exactly |
TheConceptionist: in my perfect world, the cbox could be upgraded and optimized to promote its usage, but i know that likely won't happen, so at least keeping it around is the next best thing |
Toxikyle: If Navs tries to get rid of the cbox, it will become sentient and rebel against its creator. It's not safe to get rid of it |
Hyuponia: route 50 but the chatbox is self-aware |
TheConceptionist: LOOK NAVARR, A USER |
TheConceptionist: WE CAN USE THIS TO HELP REVIVE THE WEBSITE |
Hyuponia: [sweet voice] |

twiggy: dude I just told a friend of mine about fred the other day. because he was talking about getting a turtle |
Sparkleaf: oooh? |
twiggy: I don't think he'll go through with it but I had a nice moment just thinking about fred's old tumblr :"") |
Sparkleaf: confession: the reason I ended fred's tumblr was because I'm not the one who takes care of her |
twiggy: lmao that's valid |
Karkat: Wow this is the most active I've seen this chat in years |
DarkPegusus: For like two years, me calling someone shitty was in the box |
DarkPegusus: Becuase they wanted to just use the site as an art dump |
Sparkleaf: whoa |
TheConceptionist: I mean, that's what some people are doing |
Navarr: Woah a DP |

Braixen: Greetings |
Sparkleaf: Hello there! |
Braixen: Lovely place around here ^^ |
Sparkleaf: Glad to hear it ^_^ |
Braixen: Still getting the hang of things, though... |
Toxikyle: See, I knew people still used the cbox |
Braixen: What's everybody up to? |
Toxikyle: Procrastinating |
Braixen: Nonsense! You're just recharging your batteries for the next time you're gonna do something productive |
Sparkleaf: playing a VN atm |
Braixen: oh, anything good? |
Sparkleaf: Was just going through the backlog earlier, but I decided to skip to Fureba because I was looking forward to it |
Braixen: oh you have a backlog too? To be honest I've never really clicked with VNs all that well, since if I want a story, I get a book, but if I want a game I go for something a bit more action-y? Though I suppose that VNs are the best of both worlds? |
Sparkleaf: hmm, I think of them as more like, interactive anime |
Toxikyle: yo Braixen, are you in the discord yet? |
Braixen: Yes, I am! |
Braixen: Though I'm much of a lurker |
Toxikyle: that's understandable lol |
Braixen: I was thinking that maybe I kickstart the RP channel over there, sometime; but I'm not that confident in my acting either >.> |
Toxikyle: I'm sure you're great! |
Toxikyle: We've also started RPing more in the forums lately |
Braixen: oh yeah, I should give those a look at sometime as well! |
TheConceptionist: it's def really fun c: |
DragonDiamond: Dang it I always hope to find anyone online here but I guess I always log on at the wrong time xD |
