Did you send them? It'd be nice to have them before christmas break starts, because I'll have a ton of time to work on stuff

WELL??

HOT?

OR

NOT??

and yeah every other client for mirc is boring - but those won't have multiplayer game support, or flash watching capabilities, or the ability to watch videos, or listen to music, or have djing and podcasts.. ec shetera, ec shetera. :P

maybe we will implement a strip down mode where it will do as you want it. Lots of options to explore - I'm sure in the end we can make everyone happy :)

Get people to make skins for it or something... That'd actually be pretty rad.

start doing it as one big midi chunk instead of separate patterns, so you have no point of reference ;D

That's what I'm doing though :(.

Move everything to one pattern. Seriously.

nobody is ever,... EVER.. HAPPY.

the chat is still foremost - everything else is just additional functionality. In this industry one has to provide a lot.

I personally find the advertisements cool, it keeps you up-to-date on something that would make the NG community closer to each other.
It also allows for some feedback wich is also quite appreciated, at least it is for me.

Well you seem to be providing as much content as possible in order to TRY and make everyone happy right?

that's exactly the point. The main deterrant before was that it looked outdated. I am also trying to pull all aspects of newgrounds into one interface - everything that makes newgrounds newgrounds available at your fingertips - view art, videos, flash, play games, and chat. Because in the end we realized people didn't REALLY want just a flash - most people have nothing interesting to say and sit in the room like pileons expecting someone to notice them.

Irc was made more as a place where you joined, stuck in the background, and then played games and occasionally commented in it. We are trying to make it relevant in this day and age. Also like you said the updates allow you to provide input. Eventually we want even the entire interface to be customizable, perhaps have a thread where people can link links to skins and we can add the oens we like - can't just have any old person doing that stuff hehe.. also one can providei nput and view status updates via the Facebook Group :)

and you are right - something like this would bring every aspect of newgrounds users together - they could all have their own rooms and finally have somewhere to talk about stuff in real time. Those that don't like the itnerface would always use the old web clients or mirc and those that don't like the chat can as usual use the forums.

I added the video interface yesterday so when one links a youtube video it will display in that iphone-looking area - looks pretty nifty if I do say so myself :)

also those that provide suggestions will go on the "dev team" area of the chat which can be viewable by users - imagine millions of users glancing at your name, think of the exposure! :)

I don't want to sound like the cocky douchebaggish know-it-all, but I DO work in the industry (in terms of web application dev, etc. etc.), and one thing you never stop seeing is someone trying to pack all into one, and the application loses focus.

Simple = Better in 99% of all cases, and this case isn't one of the 1%.

It's definitely good to have other stuff, but going as far as putting in video or game functions...that's too much, since first off it doesn't complement the main function, which is chat, and second it's possibly stealing an audience from the main NG site, which is already supposed to be the main rally point for videos and games.

I am also trying to pull all aspects of newgrounds into one interface - everything that makes newgrounds newgrounds available at your fingertips - view art, videos, flash, play games, and chat.

baaaaaaaaaad. You're basically trying to create newgrounds all over again...you'll be splitting the visitors up rather than unifying them...

Seriously, the best kind of chat for a site like newgrounds, seeing as it already has a huge community, is latch the chat onto newgrounds, rather than latch newgrounds onto the chat. Meaning, the chat is one tiny part of Newgrounds, not a do-it-all interface, and in that sense, integrate the chat interface in the Newgrounds website with some Javascript stuff that sits at the bottom of every page wherever you go.
You don't steal from Newgrounds viewers, it's always available, and doesn't intrude on what you would usually do. Actually, what facebook does...

I disagree.

IRC is meant to be like a "Sidekick" application in correlation with the ACTUAL NG site...
It is NOT meant to steal users from the actual site (That's crazy talk fool, who else is gonna use IRC?)
Like Chronamut said... It is meant to sit in the background while you browse Newgrounds, so if you find a gem in any of the portals you can be like "Hey guys check this new thing out!"
You want java shit here? talk to Tom and HALF THE USERS ON NEWGROUNDS... We all want website chat integration, and ultimately ...a complete REDESIGN...

We don't have it, we AREN'T gonna have it for a while, and I really commend Chron in his efforts; HE IS AT THIS SHIT EVERYDAY :/

I do see were you are coming from PSvils, but unless YOU are gonna take the time out of YOUR day to make your idea a reality... I wouldn't shoot down Chronamut. ( The poor guy get raged on all the time, and just keeps giving back... :/ )

lol, irc will never be relevant anymore

irc does one thing better than everyone else- it maintains its connection.

Lets look at stickam: dying on newgrounds

radiochat: dead

paltalk: dead

ventrillo: dead.

irc may not be as flashy as the others, but it has stood the test of time and when a worldwide disaster hits and all other chats are blown of the map, those irc servers will still be running and irc will still be useable.

Now while I do appreciate all your comments, naturally I don't a shit about the negative ones and am gonna do what will be done anyways. The chat won't "steal" away from newgrounds - those views shill show up as view on their site - just look at what the radio player in radiochat did for the submissions in the audio portal - it drastically raised them as more people were listening to them.

The irc chat will give users all over newgrounds a massive boost in exposure, it can literally help ADD users to every single user on the site. And with out use of player cards we can actually link prominant flash characters to their animations on newgrounds, thus providing them with even MORE exposure.

The flash interface in the bg will also allow people in the chat to play multiplayer games. The video at the top will allow people to watch videos either seperately or collectively. In chort all these things added provide a unique customizable experience that encourages all users to get involved for their own good (exposure) as well as provides activities for people in the chat to do and prevents stagnation of thoughts in the chat. Also the new chat will have many more rooms which will allow us to redirect people instead of just banning them like we tend to do now.

It's win, win, win.

So frankly, I do believe this is the 1%. And even if ALL OF THIS FAILs - we still have an interface that can be used elsewhere, or we still have mirc we can use to connect to it - and this was all just a fun side project.

I think it is exactly whats needed, so that people dont have to waste time by finding the video they want to watch... open a new tab for the chat... then try working both of them at the same time.
people like compact and over jammed, as long as it works good, name one new product that has a good following that performs just a single function. EVEN OUR PENS DO MORE THAT JUST WRITE

P.

Your pessimism has broken the spirit of many n00bs in the flash forum - and rightfully so,
but we aren't. At this point we dont want a discussion about how valid it is to realize this idea, we want constructive input that will help improve the chat when its done.

If it has been unclear to you, I am the programmer of the chat and I have positive feelings about how this will come together.

Well I was hoping my crit will be taken as constructive...I'm not saying it isn't possible, just how effective it would be. My initial glance at the interface blasted my face with colours and made it...well, unpleasant. If this is what you're aiming for, then go ahead (no not the unpleasantness, I mean the colour blast).
All I can say it goes against my preference, and could benefit from a more organized interface (fine, pack it with features, but hell, at least put them in better places/lay it out better)

I sort of picked up on you being the programmer while reading.

Ok, that was my point and what I was trying to say...

I don't see where you're coming from with that Java stuff...I never mentioned it...

I can understand how I come across as a pessimist, but I just say stuff when I think someone is doing something wrong. You can take my opinion with a grain of salt, and not get defensive...

Minimalism ruins everything it touches. Reducing somethings function is bad and you should feel bad.

The 99% / 1% catch phrase usages here are hilarious.

That 99% stuff is bullshit. The population of the US is 307,006,550. So that means every individual makes up about .000000003257%. Multiply by the number of wall street protestors and you get 0.0000977.

They are not the 99%, they are the .0000977%. They make up far less than even 1% of the population.
