Site suggestion: Chat

[mrs saturn]

I was just thinking about more ways to be social on this site, and while it's already easy with the community tab and making status updates, maybe a chat could make it even easier to connect with others? On http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/, there's a link in the menu at the top which pops out another window with a chat. Chats are more efficient than status updates and forums for making small talk and getting to know whoever's online, and I think the site and game could benefit from making socializing even easier.

If it's hard, impossible or time-consuming to implement I'll have full understanding since I wouldn't know anything about that, but if it's doable I personally think it'd be a great addition.

A chat would be fun.

I love chats. I'm a shy baby, but I still like participate in them sometimes. It differently does make it easier to communicate with others.

I figure a chat would be easy to put in, but I dunno?

[Kattycake]

I'd be up for that!

A community chat would make it easier to socialize in my opinion

I'm logged in here for hours at a time... I'd definitely make use of a chat feature.

Yeah a chat would be amazing ^^ I know I would definitely use it
Still depends on whether it can be put in though

a chat function can be added without much problem. The problem that does come up is bandwidth however. Chat features do take up a bit of bandwidth. And we have found you guys really like Pumpkin Online. Once that has been situated and servers upgraded to handle the load you all are creating (which is a great thing!!!) I will bring this up to the boss and see what she has to say. Sound good?

Sounds good.
