    So I had this new idea for conversations, group chat. Now this does not apply to conversations, but is another form of it. This works like how Skype chats work (I think, I do not have one though.) So you may be asking yourself what the point of this is. The point is to have larger conversations with many people, maybe 20 or even 30 people. This would be helpful for handful sized clan’s chat, moderator clan chats, WarZ group chats, and Faction group chats. Currently, the conversation size is 6 (now 10, thanks to Putty). Now, current conversations appear in your inbox whenever someone adds you to their conversation, and continue to appear whenever someone adds a post to it (unless you leave). People can abuse the group chat by adding moderators to it, and spamming their inboxes. To solve this issue, I had the idea of accepting being added to the group chat. So how this works is that in your inbox, it says “(Name) wants to add you to the (group name) chat. Do you accept?” If you click accept, then it works just like a normal conversation. If you click deny, then you can no longer be sent invitations to that particular group chat (click carefully). I feel that this can be useful so that anyone who does not have a Skype (like me) can still communicate with his or her group. This idea still has some things to iron out, but please leave some positive feedback and constructive criticism. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you like the idea! I also ran the idea by Putty, but I am not sure is he was talking about increasing the conversation size, or incorporating this idea into the forums. If you read this Chickenputty, can you please clarify what you meant, thanks.

    I don't think there's a plugin for this, so implementation may be difficult. Other than that, I don't see why not.

    EDIT: Putty said he would add it, why bother posting this?

    I thought he was referencing increasing the conversation size, not implementing this. My mistake, sorry. A staff can lock this if needed. I was just curious what the community might think of it, as would it be used effectively or just be there.

    Well due to my inexperience of coding I have no idea if this is possible but it seems like it is, I would like it. Who knows maybe they will add it!

    This would be a nice addition to the forums, especially for people who do not own Skype. I like the idea if creating clan chats through the forums. This would also be nice for the people who don't like to give out their private Skype. If Putty likes the idea, then I hope it is implemented :smile:
