Chat...

[Grendel]

Apologies if this is the wrong place for suggesting this but...

In a couple of other forums I use they have a quiz facility. This is automated and has a pool of several tens of thousands of questions. What about adding something like this to vBChat?

I'm fairly sure this would be a popular addition! :)

That'd be a cool addition to the forum.

Thumbs up :)

You mean like http://forum.oddthought.com/showthread.php?t=3303 ? ;)

No, what I'm talking about is a Triviabot. It runs continuously, asking questions and giving clues to letters at a set period (30 seconds-1 minute.) if someone doesn't answer correctly.

People wouldn't be limited to a set number of questions per day.

Well the vbChat is primarily used for the winning cartels. Would the winning cartels want something like this in their private rooms? If so, then this may be a good idea. Normally though I see things like this in the public chatrooms, and we really don't have any that get used because of the SB.

[Grendel]

What about the default room, nobody really uses that do they? Like you said we do have the SB, so using the default room as a Triviabot room would avoid the duplication.

Just an idea.

I still think we should have a general chat area for everybody..It might take the load off the SB somewhat..I think a trivia bot would be awesome.

problem is there is no real type of bot for Vb stuff to do Trivia, apparently the way around it is to incorperate irc with the forum and use a irc bot to provide the questions etc...not a part i want to go down right now.
