Special place under the stars
Okay, hello! I have noticed the only way to talk to a certain group of people was to PM (then invite more people) but then you had to refresh the page to look at a newer message. So I had an idea that could go 2 ways;

1) Have the PM thing the same but have it where it automatically adds the newest message rather then having to refresh the page

OR

2) A new addition called ''Chat'' where you can start a chat room (still the same style and all that) and have it where you can make groups and all that.

I know these ideas might be a bit brief but it is just a simple suggestion :)
 
Private messaging is just what's default to XenForo, which is the forum software MCPZ use. It's not the best but it might be hard to implement what you're suggesting.

There's a plugin for XenForo that adds shoutbox style chat to a forum. I think that would be pretty cool. There might be other plugins out there which improve private messaging though.

A shoutbox would be nice.
Is it possible to have a shoutbox type thing where you talk to only 1 person? That'd be cool.
 
Not sure. Certainly possible but might be a little time consuming for a dev to implement.
I think it'd be worth it as a handy and super quick alternative to PMing if possible. PMing could cater to groups more.
