vbIMShout

[Hambil]

I'm didn't get what I wanted from vbPager. So, after some thought, I realized combining and instant messanger with a shout box is the way to go. I will be uninstalling vbPager and replacing it with this custom hack. Your feedback and suggestions are encouraged.

Concept
Imagine a shoutbox that allows you to create private rooms and invite others into them like a chat or IM. Tabs along the top of the shoutbox would switch between rooms. There would always be a main room that everyone can shout in.

User Features
Tabbed shoutbox
Default all users shoutbox (e.g. Lobby)
Create new tab (new private shoutbox)
Invite online members to private shoutbox
Standard shoutbox features
Ajax Enabled (No refresh necessary)
eBux/eShop and uCash/uShop integration so chats can earn points if desired
Set ignore all invites on/off
Set invites only from buddies on/off

Admin Features
Turn vbIMShout on/off
Turn Admin/Mod Can get list of and enter private shoutboxes on/off
Turn Images on/off
Turn smilies on/off by category
Exclude specific bbcodes
Set Usergroup can use vbIMShout
Set Usergroup can create new tab
Set Usergroup can moderate shoutbox
Set Usergroup can moderate private shoutbox

That actually sounds kinda cool.

It does, but do enough people use the shoutbox to warrant several extra rooms?

Although, I guess there's always the cybersex element. Hmm....
