Budget Proposal: Forum Chat Plug-in

[InTheWoods]

I have made a thread suggesting forum improvements, specifically adding a forum chat room. The Xenforo forum chat plug-ins cost money so I guess this is a budget proposal.

I have looked a bit into the options available and I believe the premium version $249 of this plug-in is the best choice by far.

Why people need (?) to chat exactly on forum?

There are lots of special advanced chat software - specially designed for more comfortable chatting...

Why not to start with Skype group chat, for example?

Because convenience and ease of use and because privacy.

What about IRC?

this is not a question of money (for now)
this is a question if Props (owner of Dashtalk) would implement this or not !
1st it has to be checked with him here:
https://dashtalk.org/threads/xenforo-chat-room-plug-in.6892/
$ comes after

do not overtake you/ourself !
(if props is not into it, it will not happen !)
so lets wait please

Not sure I follow. Doesn't the forum belong to Dash, to the foundation?

Nope, Dashtalk It is private site - so only the owner decides what to do here... :sad:

For example, I am asking for many months:

1. To add "Promotion" section as an important part of Dash project.
or
2. To add Language plugins https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/translations.31/?order=download_count
to make easier for people from Russia, China, ... to register and use forum with their native language interface (and these plugins are free!)

No result. :sad:

 

[tungfa]

yes Alex -ru is right ! (unfortunately)
:sad:
I have a whole list of changes too , which never happen as props is only around once a month it seems !

Hmm. Maybe that's first order of business then. Buy the forum from him or if not a viable option move on to another one.

If prop is open to sell / transfer ownership / add more admins let me know i will try to help with any of the three scenarios.

Edit: Also shouldn't the foundation buy it out?
