Ive been thinking. People have been talking about NT as a live chat, but how well do you think NT would work if it were built all in flash and used like a flash communication server? I think it would streamline everything and make data access simple.
What about your ideas?

no a-train. Sorry to disagree, but there's absolutely no need for it.

what would the advantage be, i think it would be a nightmare.

i dunno man. if you make it in flash using flash communication server you would have no need to use the refresh button, everything would be up-to-date. You could also possible start private chats with people?
I dunno, i could see it working

holy crap, j_red, what site is that?? It knows me! As soon as I got there it said "Welcome dippy!"
Have I been there before? I must have been there before and signed in or something, and the cookie's still on my machine.

It would have to be totally sponsored by (MT) or someone because Comm server is so damn expensive - especially with as many users as there are on here.
I have to agree though - not necessary. If you want a chat room, make it seperate - don't mess with the simplicity of everything else.

Don't try to fix what ain't broke

it would become like collab and not be accessible to visitors with low-spec machines or connections.
NT is fine the way it is.

i can hardly stand everyone with the refresh button. i can see things like derek and sean coming into a chat room exploding the whole site into chaos. no thanks.

The functionality that you are talking about will be available in the new WV site....

imagine trying to watch 100,000,000 starving ants run for sugar across the room. then tell the person next to you about each and every ant

I have a flash version of the PVN anyway so I can see the climbers and fallers without... refresh, refresh, refresh...

Live chat would definitely NOT be the way to go, flash would be nice but it would have to be realllly slim to keep NT'ers happy.
I was going to mess with it a while back just as an experiment, the pvn is pretty basic html and easy to parse over http, which could in turn be put into a flash app.
The performance would be the main problem though.
