I know it would be alot for mods to manage, but what about even a Premium Member chat box? I'd totally buy premium to be able to chat quickly with people on the forum as I plan to start being active again. Just kind of something I've always wanted for this forum over my 10+ years being here, but only saw it back in vBulletin days and got removed fairly quickly.
 
I dont think people would use it at all. It would be pretty dead. Because people do not keep OTLand tab open to chat. Also these chatboxes are limited in functionality and is hard to monitor and keep track of everything. And it would be spammy and it just has a lot of downsides. The better thing is Discord, there are currently to discords (none affiliated with OTLand) that you can join.

I agree and disagree.. in Discord you have random conversations going on filled with memes and sometimes NSFW pictures, etc.. would just be a nice medium for people who are currently browsing. We don't need images, GIFs or any of that.. just text so if someone has a simple question or just wants to say whats up, the option is available.

Text in the chatbox should be limited to a certain character count to avoid lengthy messages/things that should be in a post. I don't know, just kind of a wish of mine. Don't care if it comes true, would be awesome if it did though.
 
It's very unlikely such a thing would come. Chit Chat sections is for that if you must. Other than that, there are two Discord servers like @Amiroslo mentioned. We could always create another one that is "Otland Discord" but what's the point?

I can tell you about the Discord I run. We have about 340 members. It is not filled with memes, and there are no NSFW contents as the server is SFW and we will do and try our best to keep it that way. We have different channel for different purposes and people love using Discord. You can come and go whenever you want or just chat. Feel free to take a look

Could you not embed the official Otland Discord into XenForo? That would be a huge point.

Can you explain it again? There is no official Otland Discord, so I don't understand what you're saying here.

Sorry, create an official one with the moderators being the staff members and then embed into XenForo.
