Move it to the Bottom?

[Contra Fates]

Before actually doing this, I thought I'd ask you guys first, if the Chatbox should be moved to the bottom of the forum?

Pros:
-It'll be close to the Recent Post Statistics, making it easier to see new activity.

Cons:
-Might make the forum look a little bottom-heavy.

That's really about it. xD Vote in the poll, please!

Putting it so close to the recent stats is always a good move. It's a great little tactic, that. xD

As an alternative, would you be willing to look for a more aesthetically pleasing or smaller stats mod that could possibly be moved to the top in place of the one at the bottom?

Either way, I'm all for this idea. =]

I looked around for different forum stats mods, but the others were either really ugly, or very outdated and wouldn't work with this version of VBulletin. =/ I'll be on the look out, though.

In which case I'm all in favour of moving the chat box to the bottom of the forum index if you can't find a top stats you want to use instead of the current one. You don't necessarily have to change the one we currently have, I was just wondering if there were any smaller ones out there that won't look huge compared to the chat box.

I've become used to seeing the CB at the top, but I honestly don't mind either way. So if you can see a good reason to take it to the bottom, aligning to stats as it seems, go for it ;D

[Hydracula]

Yes, near the stats would be the best move. =D
But just as John stated, is there were a smaller top stats mod it'd be nicer to have em both up.

[DK Dong]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing the "Top Stats" move to the top of the page with the Chatbox.

If that isn't a possibility, then I'm in support of moving the Chatbox to the bottom of the page.

[Tesla]

Yeah. Move the Stats to the top for the forum. I'll understand if you don't tho. XD

[Doaj]

My preference is to keep it at the top. Realistically, I haven't noticed a theme of people idling in the chatbox and not posting, so I don't think it needs to be moved. It wouldn't increase activity very much, and bottom-heavy is something I'd personally like to avoid, but that may just be because I've never been to a bottom-heavy forum. I guess I just don't see the logic of having important information at the last place people will see. I mean, if it comes down to it, and you have to move it, then I won't be a bitch about it, but you know my preference.

[Sephiroth]

Id like it at the top but I like checking the status to so to me it doesn't really matter I can adjust either way Bottom or Top dosn't matter to me so I will hold my vote since to me it dosn't matter

[Godz Soldier]

I'd much Rather have Either the Chat box Moved some place with the Currents posts.
Why, becuase then people actualy start posting instead of staring at the blank chat box for hours on end untill someone comes and starts talking. Come on people this a forum. We got to post sooner or later, don't just come for the chat box, i could hop on MSN for that. Lets make us some posts.

If it comes down to it though, i won't bitch about it either.

So far the votes are 5 in favor of moving it to the bottom, versus 2 in favor of keeping it where it is.

There are a few of you who have posted but not voted yet, so, please, be sure to cast your vote. =) I'll leave the poll open for another day or so before changes are made.

[Casanova]

I vote to keep it where it is, but only if I can suggest that the top stats be moved there to go with it.

I think it's great if visitors get to see how active the place is by seeing both of these mods at the same time as soon as the page loads.

[Contra Fates]

Hmm, the results are a bit close. I'm going to leave this open a little longer.

[Aleister Black]

I voted for keeping it at the top, as the chatbox is something you would like to see as soon as you connected to the site (even though I don't use it much at all). Having it at the bottom would decrease the chatbox activity, I think.

[Cavallone]

Put it in the very middle.

Yeah. I said it.

[Mellusia]

I didn't vote before because I don't really care if it's up or down, but I'm in favour of aligning it the stats, so if stats are at the bottom, then yeah, okay, movie the CB to the bottom.
