Gang communication

[papee]

I had requests for a "gang forum" from a few players. While all game related talk should be on this forum I do see the need for a gang to communicate. A gang leader can send messages to other members now. My thought is to add a separate chat client that will allow the gangs to make a private room with password to discuss war strategies live. The messages on this chat client will close as the room is closed. I think this would be the best way to handle this as you could have the chat client running as you are at war and not have to check into a message board within your gang. Thoughts on this?

i think it sounds good. but i think it would be better to have a small "board" on the gang page that I could post a messege and people could read it throughout the day as they log in. and maybe the messege would be auto deleted after 48 hours.

I agree with Proskier, the chat idea would be great for real-time chatting, but say i wanted to have a gang post that lasted a couple of days...AKA, should we change gang names...or something...that way people can post, and react to posts over a couple of days.

The forum idea is what's used in most games. Not saying that's a reason to go that way, just saying it works. However I played one game where it was very easy to spy on other gangs forums. The forum pages added incrementally regardless of the gang. Say gang A posts today, gang B posts tomorrow, if I'm in gang A I could read gang B's messages by adding to the number in the address bar. www.blahblah.com/forum/page123, 124, 125, etc. See what I'm trying to explain? It wasn't very secure and if a computer illiterate like myself could figure it out, well it's bad.
