What you see is what you get, just a guy...
Now as of late, Ashley Channel has created an discord chat for the forums. (That We didn't know about till now.) and it has been gaining popularity as of recently. but now it's time to decide the shoutbox's future once and for all. Should it move to an offical discord channel or should it stay. should it still be on the site just not on the front, or should it be removed completely with no traces left. now it's the time to vote for the future of the chat, and Remember every vote counts.
 
Okay let me get this straight, so the discord is replacing the shoutbox, while the shoutbox is being used for fourm stuff. Okay that makes sense to me. Truly sorry for the misunderstanding and minor outburst.
 
I thought the ShoutBox would be gone then, why even bother if it stays?

Ok, seems like people don't grasp the idea fully.
This topic is meant to decide what to do with the Shoutbox. One of those choices is using Discord and removing the Shoutbox completely.
We opened a Discord server and starting to lay down the rules.
One of those rules is: We can't share manuals, conversations and such that are part of the Forums, we can only share links to those. The idea is so we force people to come to the forums.
After all, if we're transitioning to Discord, we don't want it to be completely cutting relations to the rest of the Forums, seems only fair.

Any questions?

EDIT: This rule is mainly created to replicate the Shoutbox functionality, as we can't upload stuff in the Shoutbox, but we can in Discord. If people start uploading Wario related stuff on Discord, it will cut the need to come to the site.
 
Oooooh okay, I get it now. I don't think I was on the discord when this happened, (As a mod, I'm very ashamed in myself.)
 
I get what this is about I just had a short derpy missunderstanding here, wouldn't know about any of these rules for the Discord though, since I was never there.
 
You're not a moderator of Warioforums, so you can't decide what happens with the shoutbox.

I know, I'm not deciding anything! lol
Who said that? We're just planning ahead, to see if people like the transition... I never said I was deciding anything!

Sorry, I honestly feel a little upset about the shoutbox, is all. I probably misinterpreted.
 
Don't worry about the voice thing, Ninja! You have to do a whole lot of things before you could voice chat. The odds of you mistakenly putting your voice on is a million to one!

Edit : As long as you don't click on "Wario Forums voice chat" you will be fine!
 
The Poll is officially closed, And the results?

  • 66.7% has said - Yes, I think it should be moved.
  • 16.7 has said - No, it should stay where it is.
  • 16.7% has said - Yes, but not to Discord. (Make a link to it's page as a compromise.)
  • 0.0% has said - Any form of chat should be removed from the site. (LOL I figured one person would had chosen this option.)
So there you go there's the results, and it looks to be that Discord is extremely popular among the community. I'm surprised the third option didn't get more popular considering how mildly popular it was. But yep the results are very clear now, Discord will most likely be be the Shoutbox 2.0.

Now I said this before, and i'll say it again, this is just a Poll to gauge opinions, the exact fate of the Shoutbox is still unknown at this point. and What happens to it in the end, is purely up to the Admin.
But you're opinions here are extremely important and is quite possibly going to change the shoutbox forever. So Thank you for voting and take care,

(I now request this thread to be locked please.)
