A "shout out" board/sub board/sticky thread.

Credit to Avago-Earo for the idea.

Would it be possible to have some sort of space where we can organize meetings in-game and such? Not so much an events board, which we already have, but a board where we can see who's on and if they want to do something in game?

As soon as I went off to check where my Cobra was parked to come back and give a shout out to see if anyone was up for meeting in space in about 15 minutes or so (I can wait), the same thought occurred.

I think its a good idea personally. We can use the events board for stuff like group exploration, and use the shout out board for just general meeting up in space stuff.

I think there's a "shout box" module for phpBB. Maybe that would be more appropriate than a thread. Wolf?

Last time I checked there were 3.7 gazillion plus 2 modules for phpBB. :P
At the moment I am not looking into that. But that does not mean never. I am still tweaking the standard installation at the moment. Then we will do some cosmetic improvements (Mobius already has prepared some, I just have to find the time to include them into the style without breaking the layout :o )
I have to check when phpBB 3.1 is due, and what features are fix on the roadmap.
So, to quote a famous philosopher: soon™

Maybe it's time to look into a shout box or chat box again? :)

If you don't want it spammed, maybe hide it for online members only and limit the number of posts per day/hour?

Think facebook is where this would fit the best and has the most users.
Hardly anything stays visible for more than a day or two anyways.

And best of all, nobody needs to do nothing for it to be used for it.

I assume you were being sarcastic. Had me going there for a second. ;)

Facebook? No thanks.
Shoutout? We have an Off Topic sub already.
