PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

This is a repeat subject. We had one. People keep spamming it, and it wasn't overly policed, and it was constnatly plagued with swear/cuss words. So ultimately the site admin removed it.
Umaro said he pretty much would never bring it back. He did give us several off forum IRC channels to use though.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Well if you have it set so you have to have 100 posts to post in it then people will not simply create new accounts to post in it, and if you are found spamming, you could be banned from the chat box. Then have certain words filtered so if you say it, your auto-temp-banned untill a mod can look over the file.

Aye, make use of that ban-hammer!
(This isn't necro is it?)
Look at the date of the last thread. You decide. I still support this idea. I want to be able to talk to my peoples easily.

I was considering adding a Chat Room earlier today... However, a lot of the points previously brought up are good ones. There's no clear-cut way to moderate it, and a lot of times, it ends up with spam. What does everyone think?
The spammers don't really matter, just bann'em from the room and they'll get the message. For the people who will really use it, I'd think our least concern is spammers.
I predict that it will turn to, for lack of a better word, shit. Will have some kiddies come and ruin it, thus why we can never have good things. Also kind of takes away from posting on the forums.
Although you could still give it a try and see how it goes.

I believe these are the two premier issues.
There is no way to moderate it, and with the amount of people coming through here it would be a lot of people to potentially cause harm.
Most of all however, it removes posts from the forums. If the discussion is about Diablo, posted in the forums it would allow for more access to people, especially lurkers and occasional visitors. This is an an effect that won't be achieved in the chat room.
If it's not about Diablo, well the same goes for all other forums. Plus you have the spam forum, the ultimate thread etc.

I would just like a way to have an easy going instant chat with someone without them stalking me on aim or facebook.
I understand the issue here. But I feel that if it was done correctly then it wouldn't be a problem or take away from anything.

A Chat Box!
Very helpful if you just want to chat to the community.
I know this is a big hit for most forums, though not used very often =/
I hope you don't mind, but this is the best example that I can give.
Scroll down a bit on the website, and you'll know what I mean.
Of course only members that are signed in can use the chat.
It's just a quicker way to talk to others.
Umaro said he pretty much would never bring it back. He did give us several off forum IRC channels to use though.
It would be hard to enforce rules on though. I'd almost rather just have a chat thread in the spam forum.
Fair enough, though there could just be a Moderator for the chat box, or a few...
As Daemaro said, I'd also prefer a chat thread in the spam forum.
If it's done right, it could be useful...
That's pretty much the best way to deal with it.

My ten cents.
There you go :). I don't think there will be too many problems on this site. Certainly on the Blizzard forums, but here, I'm not seein a problem.
Yes it is but you are only a few days over the 3 month limit.
Also, we already have a chat thread in the Spam forum, it's called The Ultimate Random Thread!
