Instant Messages
XSI Base is about community and communication. And
there are plenty of ways to communicate: Posting on the boards,
Instant Messaging, E-mail, ICQ, AIM and YIM. Of course, all methods
of communication are only available to members. An exception is when
the Forum Staff decides to allow guests to post on the boards: in
this case all unregistered users are NOT allowed to do is viewing
the Member List and sending Personal Messages to members.
Instant Messaging
While e-mail is a good way to correspond privately
with members, it has several drawbacks: You must open your e-mail
application to write and send the message; the recipient must open
his/her e-mail application; check his/her mail and your message will
mixed in with all the other mail and it can take sometimes several
minutes to an hour for mail to reach the recipient.
As an alternative to e-mail, XSI base offers a faster, more private
method. Instant Messaging on the boards provides instantaneous
delivery to the recipient's Private Mailbox. The mail is sent and
received entirely through XSI base, so neither you nor the recipient
have to open another program or leave the XSI base forum. Instant
Messaging also gives both the sender and recipient greater privacy:
No one's real e-mail address is revealed. Instant Messages show only
the handle and name of both parties.
If a recipient isn't online, Instan Messages wait in the member's IM
box until the next time s/he logs in and manually reads and/or
deletes them. XSI base Instant Messages is a self-contained, highly
private e-mail system.
