The Mods say they have enough "work" here. If it was software moderation like you propose it would be to easy to abuse, besides, this is a gun forum, the owner isn't concerned with the fluff on the site, the classifieds, the lounge, and the old chat are/was just that, fluff.

As I recall there was even a chat room created apart from the forum to free up bandwidth. It did not last long.

how bout you don't "speak" for the mods... mmmmmmmm'kay?

the first chat overloaded the server with process utilization issues
the second was not much better.

the IRC channel merely became a home for the malcontents to plan attacks on the forum, and how to troll here.. you know, sorta like folks do on the ZRT forum.

so, its been decided that a chat is not really necessary... as SB says... its fluff.

Just repeating what I've heard you yourself say many times concerning the "extra's" on this website.
