This is a great idea for qbn, nice one stewdio. Shame we can't prove who is who...

Woooo!!!

i can make another version that has logins to fix that problem, but a little busy with work for the time being. i think a chat room side-bar for QBN would be pretty awesome.

Yesterday someone asked if this thing was archiving. Very important question, especially from a privacy point of view. When you load up the page you can see the last 100 entries—which I think is important if you want to join in an on-going conversation—and to do that you have to store the history of course.
But what you see is what you get. I've set up the chat to overwrite its own history. So once that buffer hits 100 entries (and it has) it starts overwriting the oldest previous entries. Better for users who might be concerned about privacy. And better for me because it takes up less server space.
So if you like what you see take a screen grab. Once it's gone it's gone.

Ok. New update. I added little color swatches to the chat that are *loosely* based on IP addresses. What this means is that your color will remain the same regardless of what your user name is, as long as you stay on the same machine. I stress *loosely* based on IP address. You won't be able to get someone's IP address by inspecting the color. And although unlikely, it is possible two people with two different IP addresses will have the same color.
But since that's very unlikely what this does do is point out the duplicate names being used. If five guys are pretending to be Set that should become apparent. And then it's just a matter of which color Set is the real Set. You can probably "prove" who's who just through conversation. But if you're really obsessed with proving it's you I suppose the real person can post their color values here on QBN as a cross-check.
Again, I know this doesn't solve the fact that there aren't accounts, but it's a stop gap measure. I mean... I'm busy coding for a real project here so I can't just recreate QBN from scratch with a bonus chat room feature ;)

I added the RGB values right under your names, so no need to view source anymore. You can just copy + paste the text. If you don't see them right now try reloading the page.
