I believe that by setting the Shoutbox's default position to be at the top of the page instead of the bottom, it'd give a better view to new-comers as of what this community looks like.
Pros/Cons/Abstentions?



None.

We should hide that mess of shit at all costs to not scare newcomers away. In fact, maybe it should start off hidden in a corner in a collapse box behind another feature so you never see it ever until someone PM's you about it.

P.S. Our spambox chat channels are were superior to battle.net 2.0's lololol

I believe we shouldn't fool new comers and let them know what they're getting into. :sly:

I disagree. For one thing, having people see the Shoutbox as a representation of our community is a bad thing. Sure, we have the occasional relevant question or topic, but a majority of the time it is just a huge off-topic chatroom full of H and wincest.

But seriously, this isn't going to be changed.

Special ed, yes. We certainly have a community here, no one has ever doubted that. Putting the Shoutbox on top wont have the effect you are looking for, though.

Why would you put it at the top? That would completely ruin the flow of the website for the majority of users who don't use it. Its an auxiliary function; it belongs at the bottom.

-edit-lol, didn't read the op enough.

I don't like the shoutbox at the top ... Not only does it take up a lot of precious space at the top, but it distracts a lot from the content in the page.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
