Shoutbox
 
If you look on the forum homepage you will see a mobile phone shoutbox that's been added.

Feel free to use it, but please read the TERMS on it before doing it... it will charge you 50p :cat:

There's some other phone updates soon being added, so watch this space.

Mark

Lauren 04-01-2009 01:55 PM

I shouted.

Rawr.

Thanks for the addition Mark.

Nicky. 04-01-2009 02:00 PM

oo looks good!

I will text in soon!

I already have about £2 topped on my bill for this month from XF voting.. so I will wait a few days so it goes on my next bill and nobody will notice! :bigsmile:

Matt 04-01-2009 02:08 PM

I think it's an extremely pointless addition.

It's also a complete waste of money to text in considering anyone can post any message they like in the forum below - which will appear instantly - for nothing.

Mark 04-01-2009 02:08 PM

Then don't use it :wavey:

edit: Also the shoutbox appears on the new TIBB Homepage, as well as here.

Why the hell would you spend 50p when you can easily talk in here for free :| I have better things to spend my money on cheers lol.

Btw the frontpage needs updating :P. More important me thinks.

Fom 04-01-2009 02:12 PM

Very stupid addition :puzzled:

Sam! 04-01-2009 02:12 PM

It's pretty cool how the text gets to the homepage though lol

Well I like it!
*texts*

Spike 04-01-2009 04:46 PM

I don't like the idea, I think its pointless wasting money when you can just post instead

Z 04-01-2009 05:05 PM

I hope TiBB gets some kind of profit out of the shoutbox? If so, good addition! If not... why not? :bigsmile:

Annie 04-01-2009 05:09 PM

Wasted money too! :whistle:

Mark 04-01-2009 05:10 PM

I'm not forcing people to use it!

(not yet anyway :devil:) *cracks whip*

Ahhh it just occured to me.. can you see peoples phone numbers?

Mark 04-01-2009 05:20 PM

Yeah, but they get deleted from as soon as your message appears on the shoutbox. If you click TERMS it says that we don't sell/post your number... only the last 3 digits :lovedup:

Brekkie 04-01-2009 05:55 PM

Stupid money making scheme - even BBLB and Big Mouth charge no more than 12p a message.

On the plus side though, really like the new Celeb BB theme - which makes a change.

Mark 04-01-2009 06:01 PM

I'd say theres 75% chance I LOSE money from it. Heavy costs to use that number, and the fact networks take a huge chunk for every message. I did originally set it up at 25p, but that meant for every person txting in I lost money.

Like I said before, if you don't like it don't use it. It's only a bit of fun :blush2:

Annie 04-01-2009 06:02 PM

Mark dont worry I will give you money!! ha

If Mark was making money from it then it would probably help to pay towards the running costs of the website.

Mark 04-01-2009 06:07 PM

You tell him! :angel:

pinkmichk 04-01-2009 06:12 PM

i think its a bit of a daft idea espically as i go on some forums and they have the shout box but you dont pay owt

Jen 04-01-2009 06:14 PM

Cashing in are we Mark.?
