Thats a perfect use for the temporary chat rooms, you can call them anything you like.
If you build it, they will come. At least thats what I'm hoping for with my Star Wars themed room, anyone?

I'm thinking of writing a new chat room application for Lush as a side project. I've brain dumped some ideas, I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this, I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to chat rooms.
- Avatars (16x16 pixels). User can pick from a selection, or upload/choose their own. Same as with their avatar's.
- Emotions. Pick from a selection of emotion graphics.
- Talk to individual, or all in chat room.
- Whisper to a user, only they and the recipient can see the message (moderator's can see these too?)
- Change font, colour, size of your messages (IMO I don't think we should allow changing font size).
- Add user as a friend. This adds them to your profile as a friend too.
- Block users. They cannot see you online, or your messages. This effects other areas of the site too.
- Private chat. Open a private chat window. I was thinking of just using the existing messenger type chat window we all ready have. I don't like how the current chat room ads it in as a floating layer over the chat. You can't see what's going on behind it!
- Users have the ability create their own temporary rooms, which they become the moderator on. They can block, invite people to this new room. The room is destroyed when they leave (after a time delay in case they loose their connection?). Anyone left behind when the instigator leaves, is booted out.
- Cyber. I was thinking on using the temporary room creation feature above, specifically for the user of cyber sex. Maybe make it a bit sexy, custom background's, bedroom, etc? What would enhance the experience? Allowing images to be shown in the chat window? Allow the playing of a gallery of images from the user's profile, any ideas here welcome! This needs a bit more fleshing out, but I think you get my drift here!
- Maybe some kind of rep (reputation system) can help self-regulate these rooms? I was thinking, regulars gain reputation points (some how, to be determined!). When they reach a certain level, they have mod type powers in the chat rooms. Therefore, those how spend their time in these rooms, become mods, who have the power to kick people out.
Others ideas, comments or suggestions welcome!

Why can't everything be real time
Because then we wouldnt have anything left to question and poor Gav would feel abandoned.
I slip in the occasional bug, just so I can fulfill my ego and have a thread dedicated to me, dont worry Birdie!
Maybe when we have the Lush server farm, load-balanced around the globe we can have real-time

Customer: "I would like a big mac and a quarter cheese"
Catnip: "Would you like timestamps with that?"
You should see an online/away link next to the "Welcome back..." message in the header.
I seem to have a problem with the formatting the timestamp on the chat window, i'll need to fix this up later.
Let me know if you see any problems.
(btw you may need to ctrl F5 to refresh your cache)

We have three votes for the timestamps feature.
Thats three more than usual, so i'll add it in!
Can I suggest a new feature too? Displaying images. I a chat window, I copy in a url to an image, rather than show the link, I show the image instead? Obviously it would be limited in size.

Hi Dontholien
There is an option to add a user to your blocked list on your profile page
http://www.lushstories.com/membership/update-details.aspx#friends
Alternatively, when the popup menu appears over a users name, there should be an item there to block.
Thanks

Sounds awesume.. noone would ever try to talk to me.
Besides, I want time stamps on the chats too, gav..
Can I have?
You can certainly have, as soon as you've explained yourself kitty!
What to you mean you want timestamps on the chats? A date/time against each message received/sent?
Tell me more.....

To quote Nic's initial post "Here's a fun little competition."
This was never meant to get into an egoistical face off.
To ensure the system cannot be gained, an IP address can only increment the same members profile page once per hour. When this was first launched, everyone started out on a level playing field, with 0 views.
I didnt know it resetted every hour, thought it was every 24!!
I designed this counter so an ip address would record once per hour. I didn't want people using a shared IP, or a proxy server to be penalised.

Anyone following this competition and the leader board will no doubt have seen the correlation between a members view's and their stories appearing on the home page. From my simpleton brain I have deduced the following. Members appearing on the first page of the leader board:
* Have female avatar pictures (some more sexy than others)
* Almost all are authors
* The top few have stories appearing on the home page
* People appearing in the top positions will be clicked on due to a surfers natural inquisitiveness as to why they are on top spot
Our home page is the most visited page on the site. It makes sense having a presence on here regularly will attract more attention.
Back to the fun and games....

Oh my, I have an audience now....
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready"
I have heard when a male Alien orgasm's, their cum is so precious (their race is dying out, every drop counts!) that if it fails to fertilise the female egg, it finds its way back into the males ball sack. That's why they have banned the euro style gang bangs. You end up going home with someone else's cum inside you, ewwww.
What have you heard Kitty?

Ok so we have two issues here.
1. Stories do not show at all. Most likely a plugin blocking the content. Do any ads show/flash?
2. Stories do not appear, without a refresh. I suspect this is an ad again, but a single one causing this issue. If someone could let me know what ads are shown when the story doesnt show I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
