First of all. Yes! This site has a c-box, even when guests cannot see it.
Second. The 'Why not', does go in both directions. Indeed, if there is a better one, as much as this is actually an individual opinion, will the board members not instantly be against this idea.
But! And that is the second Why not. Is it stating, why we actually are not really wishing for another one and quite content with this version.
1.) We do not wish to pay. Coming about missions is tough to get the guild running, using it for extra gadgets, a waste, especially when it mostly ends up being used in ways that we do not wish to see.
2.) Yes. This is an RP Board, meaning that some discussions have to be done or are better of done in a fast way, like with a c-box. Conversation or chat is also nice, but is it not too pleasant to see people chat their brains off, or c-box RP and the regular RP dies off thanks to this. Also is it quite odd to see people entertaining themselves on the c-box. Either by switching chars all the time to have a solo c-box rp, or by just randomly spamming the box.
3.) The c-box is not guest friendly. It certainly is a bit of a problem, but are guests mostly just asking a question there, when no one is really available, or ask: Can I ask a question? Wait and then do not continue, while others are waiting. In another case can it go under. Seriously. The guest boards can be used by guests. ASK THERE! The c-box is only for members.
4.) Again only for members, because we simply do not wish to entertain people, who have no interest in RPing. It is true, that Roleplaying might not be the generally mostly accepted hobby and we also have anime, games, etc. But some people just like to spend some of their free time on a board to RP, and instead play an hour less on the computer.
Still have I seen people, who complain that RPers have no life, just to fill the c-box with nonsense. It is quite odd, when you find the c-box on the next day, because you, yourself have a life and cannot be online 24 hours a day, just to see that the c-box is full with nonsense, 8 hours worth. The c-box has a time stamp, and history, so you can see that. As such is it to some extent entertaining, but mostly just disturbing, to see people complaining and on the other hand have time to do absolutely nothing for 8 hours straight.
The current c-box just makes it easy to not have unnecessary spam on them, without going through lengthy, c-box ban procedures or discussing with proboards, etc. Certainly can this also happen with regular registrations, but solving the problem is much easier, also the chance of bored people, going through such lengths, smaller.
5.) Again! We are quite happy with the current c-box. If there is another one you really want to have, can things be discussed, but I for one, am not really listening to people who are not yet a part of this 'Family'. Finding entries from people, who have either just joined, yet to do anything, or even just random guests, that suggest great and wonderful c-boxes, that for odd reasons, also contain code, that has some other functions, that have not as much to do with a c-box, make me very suscpicious. If you wish to advertise your own c-box, or are just wander around to find yourself some chat partners, are you totally misplaced here. Nonetheless... if you are really a member, that is a member and not just someone for the show of it, will your suggestion find an open ear.
The same applies of course for all suggestions, but the c-box issue has been found to be a problem in the past, which made me necessary to put this thread out here, before such suggestions can show up. I have to ask for your understanding in this matter and will not even bother discussing it.
