ODC Chat

[Mariners GM (David)]

Hello All,

After testing Minnit for over a week, I think we all can agree it's better than Chatango and all the other chat options we tested, especially when mobile. So without any other objections, we'll plan to make the official switch on Thursday morning when the MLB games resume. Chatango will be removed from the site then. Please create a login for Minnit and test it out.

Thank you.

I have been objecting for a long time. There was no official poll done. This was not democratic. I do not want this change. Chatango has been more than fine for me for seven years and I don't see a major issue.

while I agree chat change has been long overdue, all thats being done is changing one inconvenience for another, but it will be what league decides.

I will add little tidbit that it would be nice if it was ease of access, there are those of us whom are almost strictly mobile anymore so its a hassle to rummage through bookmarks just for the link lol.

Have you been in chat the past week +? People have complained about Chatango on mobile devices for a long time, saying it's been unusable. We found another free alternative that has more functionality than Chatango or any other chat program that can be embedded on the site. This works for everyone.

And so far, I think you're the only person that fully objects to the move. Wood doesn't like adding another bookmark to his browser, which is minor at best.

We've been democratic by adding in different chat programs and having people test them out. Chatroll was tested and dropped because of lack of chat history and cost. Minnit offers everything we need and has been good on mobile devices. Chatango has been fine for Android users since there is a dedicated app, not for iPhone/iOS. If Chatango releases an iPhone/iOS app, I'd be more than happy to go back but until then Minnit offers everything we need.

Also there were a few posts about the chat programs:
