Currently used to designing websites, when I found out about this in class I was so excited. The only problem I found was that I wasn't sure what theme to make it as most of them follow a certain style but I guess that's down to myself.

Some fantastic designs produced by it though.


They're really slow with rolling out new features it seems, as proven by the re-design of the news feed. Myself and others haven't received it yet.


Due to the massive amounts of spamming going on right now I think there should be some sort of chat room system on there which allows you to create a room and send the link.

Or you could even follow a similar idea to Omegle by pairing two people together but make it so it pairs two people who speak in different languages?


I really like the features offered (especially the realtime updates), and how you can customise it. Would prefer to host it on my own website though.


Moot architecture is a distributed cloud based service - unless someone wants to set up the dozen or so servers it would require for a basic Moot setup, it wouldn't be feasible even if the infrastructure setup was open sourced.


Go for it! That's the whole point of Moot.


embedding is not the same as hosting


I remember looking at a site that were planning a Mars mission and they expected you to pay in order to go on it. I have no idea why anyone would pay to be stuck on Mars..


Really? You can't image why? The answer is simple and one word: adventure.


pay me. i'll drop you off in the pacific, Pi.


I would pay to be sent to Mars. I would not pay to be dropped into the Pacific.

That difference may not make sense to you, but it really doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Nobody is trying to convince you to do it yourself.


You are underestimating the number of people who are interested in both a morally and socially acceptable suicide method and a claim to fame in science.


Not gonna lie, it took me a while to figure out because I had no idea what a checkmate was.


Great point. My first thought was, anyone who doesn't know how to, or doesn't like to play chess would not create a topic on this page.

The game-as-captcha idea is good tho, IMO.

I was in a forum talking about this with fellow game devs a while back. Something like a mini platformer that required you to run and jump your character to a flag, for example, might be interesting, or solve a block-fit-style puzzle, or rotate pieces to solve a puzzle, and so on.
