They had chat-rooms with mods during the E3 press conferences, so precedent has already been set for GS.

Let's see what other excuses will materialize ITT.

I doubt you'll ever see it, because Gamespot is not really an Internetentity it's a division of mainstream media. Which means the spirit of the Internet does not govern it therefore the strict rules & rogue moderatorscannot handle the chaos offreechat. Chat is not meant to be controlled or censored, it's not meant to be owned nor controlled. So it's not for gamespot. Chat is meant to be informal, butgamespot is formal. So you see the problem.

Just imagine all of the trouble trolls& rogue moderators would stir up while reporting every user left and right. It would create a double standard. Suggesting people can speak openly just tell them they can't.

Aside from that private chats and message boards are better. The only thing you see in public chats is randomized smiles and abbreviations.

Hey, don't make fun of ITT, it's TECHNICALLY a university. The commercials make it looks so great, obviously the worlds greatest minds attend ITT. "I... went to... ITT and they made me learn stuff... Stuff that I wasn't good at... so they me better at things... so nowI feel better. Before ITT my greatest achievement was my G.E.D." And that's theunscripted version. The original version must have been. "DURE! Ehdoy doyITT... YAY!"

Ease up on the type people who go there. For many it's their last resort. At least they're trying to better their lives. And yes I've "heard" about the school.

It sounds interesting but it'll be disastrously uncontrollable. GameSpot will crash in days :lol:

Have you seen the commercials? I wasn't making fun of ALL of the people that attend. It's as if the commercials are trying to make the institute look bad.

I'm not so sure. It sounds like a novel idea, but how would moderation work? Would it be entirely public? How would this affect the use of the forums? Or are you just talking about group chatting/instant messaging with certain users?

Nope. This forum moves fast enough and there is RC. And GS won't go for it since they couldn't moderate it easily if at all.

We still have HTML errors... no way we could have chat rooms working in top condition. And plus that is what Roll Call and PMs are for. I know a lot of people don't like some of the people who post in RC but dang it we need more people! I will kick out whoever is annoying them!

I'll try to get drunk enough (and Jand sober enough) this weekend to bring some drama to RC. But if I see N3MO spamming Boxxy pics, I'm done.

Haha, Works for me. The RC is due for more drama anyway.. I will inform the crew to not post any Boxxy, ponies, or any other recurring memes.

Wouldn't it essentially be the gaming version of the 1000000+ anime chatrooms out there? knowing the direction some of those can go in I'm tempted to say for me personally I'd pass. :P
