Site Updates & Changes forum.

• We make the forum a sub-section in "News And Announcements"
  
• We lock all threads created, that way we can prevent bumps and make it easier to identify which is most recent.

I'm afraid any idea of a chatbox / a chat messaging area other than private message has been tried and did not successfully pass.

I'm not sure man, doesn't seem that necessary. Once can easily chat with another by using message applications such as Skype or Discord. You can create a thread about the suggestion but I doubt it'll get any support.

in general all this "sent" & "received" messages are pain in the ass to manage, a simple conversaation mode would be much better if would be possible

News and announcements is separate from Site changes because news and announcements generally is meant to be for forum community news via the staff. For example staff changes or the likes of a discount.

Site changes is related to backend going ons such as a theme change or a graphics update, because they are related to the site itself.

However I do think News and announcements can be split up into 2 categories:

Read only announcements - In which the more important official announcements go.

Opinionated announcements - Where we make an announcement looking for an opinion which will eventually be locked and bumped by a staff member if necessary.

How does that sound?

Sounds good, much more organized.
