    Since we have the start of a new layout, we have the opportunity to make a few changes in other areas too. Please let everyone know your thoughts on opening up the chatbox to be seen (they cannot write to the chatbox). Do you think this will promote registration or frustrate them because they cannot type?

    Let us know your thoughts!

      I think it would change the mood of the ChatBox.
      It would feel like a fishbowl.

      It works both ways I think..

      Maybe there should be a set of guidelines about how many posts are needed to use the box..

      Could make things clearer if they can see it.. visitors I mean..

      No, no, no. It's for members.

      No...The chat box was always for the members and it should stay like that

      I agree....just members..I feel comfy there with other members and is a good incentive to join ....plus members should have perks

      Please please please please PLEASE leave the chatbox for just the members.That's the way it's always been, and I don't like the idea that anyone can see our conversations. It's an invasion of privacy to me.I think that the chatbox is a perk for the members, and it is a nice surprise for new members that join.

      mmm...no, it would be unfair to open it to none witches and wizards, the chatbox has always been something you had to work for and its not impossibly hard to get it, besides it encourages folks to post, if you want to be able to ee the winged animal who pushes the carriages you must see someone die, if you want to be able to see the chatbox you must make five posts....fair and simple...always been that way.
