High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Plz no, I want the option to not be pestered by a plugin for chat or PMs' popping up in my face. it's one of the reasons I barely ever use facebook

I bet you'll be able to turn it off if you want.

This was one of the options I was looking at when we had TaigaChat and I wanted a replacement, but I instead chose Chat by Siropu. You are already able to contact someone through PMs and the shoutbox, adding another method will just be confusing and annoying.

I see no real benefit to adding this, what does arrowchat do that our current on-site contact methods don't?

ArrowChat is quicker and easier than PM and Shoutbox Whispering.
So is using Discord or Skype or Telegram or anything like that. There are already so many options. We had private messaging in the shoutbox where you have your own room enabled for a few days after an update but ended up removing it since it was pretty useless.

You can actually chat faster using it, rather than using conversations.

Adding in another communication channel for users on the site isn't necessary and will just overcomplicate things. At the end of the day we're never going to be able to create a messaging platform that's as good as Discord is, so users are just going to use that.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
