I think what he is suggesting is a "live" messaging system where messages appear instantly on the page once you receive one. Not only would this require lots of work, but also lots of overhead (a separate server just to process these chat requests or the website will slow down dramatically, the software to control it, and the bandwidth to keep a constant connection with all the members logged in). Unless you're willing to pay for all that, I doubt it's going to happen. This could be semi-achieved using AJAX but that also requires lots of bandwidth and processing power for all the requests.

So ever since the HAT time has changed from 4 hours to just 30 minutes (an 87.5% decrease if my math is correct, which I would definitely question because I just hate math so much) it has created lots of frustration for me. I'm not sure what pushed the admins to do this (well, actually, I have heard that the decision was pretty one sided) but it was definitely a step backwards. :evil:

When I take my computer to work I try and open 300-400 links and then head off to do my work. When I return, you guessed it, time is up. Sometimes I'll be home working on my website and decide I want to do some clicking. I get caught up with coding, tv, and before you know it my half an hour is up and I'm mad again. :evil:

Why would you change it from 4 hours to a mere 30 minutes? What was the purpose? Was it truly just to raise my blood pressure? Because that's the only thing it has done so far. :evil:

When I asked ONE admin, the answer I got was that the "genuine" members won't have a problem with it. :neutral:

Am I not a genuine member? What exactly makes a member "genuine" ? Do they have to constantly kiss-up to you to be considered genuine? Because that's not something I will do, I have a mind of my own you know. :roll:

For now, I am simply disabling all links that require further action, and anyone who doesn't like this change should do so too. I want to click your link, I really do, but I simply won't because it just aggravates me too much when I miss the HAT. Maybe more "non-genuine" members will come out and decide they don't like this change either.

On another note, questioning your members "authenticity" doesn't exactly make them feel welcome. I have never received such an inconsiderate response from an administrator on any website or service. :!:

I guess I'll do the Polish section since nobody else seems to want to :cool:
