Chat Box Suggestion

I have increasingly noticed lately that the C-Box can sometimes be quite tedious with seven conversations or so going on through the C-Box. Some things that should be considered:[/size]• Perhaps consider a second C-Box? This would limit the amount of conversations in one C-Box. Or maybe consider a completely new kind of chat room? Have the C-Box still here, and then link to a custom-made chat room on another site.
• When I mentioned how it was difficult to talk in the C-Box Photobooth mentioned that "cliques" had arisen, probably unbeknownst to the members in the cliques, and that I wasn't the only one having difficulty. Consequently, this can lead to incidents where people can be ignored. This may occur accidentally, but can lead to the discouragement of others to come to the C-Box when these groups of people are on. Their conversations may be going so fast, that when someone says hi, it gets swallowed in a sea of words and magical scrolling.
Photobooth and I have had many conversations about this complication, as we have both had this same problem. We have both agreed that this could be taxing upon the website itself, due to discouragement. We have both fallen into this same situation, and according to Photo she has witnessed this happen with other members as well. One way to fix this would be to have these groups of people travel to the HGRPG TinyChat, but this would only work for so long. Again, a second C-Box could help limit confusion to only one C-Box and others, especially those that are new, will be able to come in and be able to speak freely without having to wait for a chance to get into the conversation.
I would like to give thanks to you for taking the time to read this.
Cheers,
