A shout box would be cool for this forum. ;D

Shoutboxes are useless in a forum, because forum is ac hatting community anyways. Well, my opinion. Besides, We have a chatroom, and for suggestions, there's this board.

They can be quite fun little things to add, but we don't have the space for it on the forum or on the website. I feel it'd just end up getting spammed.

bfg15000, you could get a CBox or something similar and just... add whatever the code is to your headers or footers.
(...someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

Believe me, I was here when we had a shout box on the main site. Didn't change anything on the forum. And with the group that populates this forum at the current moment in time, I can guarentee it won't do a thing. And I have always found chat boxes to be tedious. We have a forum, we have a chat room. A chat box would take activity away from both.

Shoutbox in a message board is a pretty useless idea, IMHO.

Plus, people will have random arguments or such random crap, it'll turn out much like Oliver's poll and shoutbox on dA. Always talking about sexing up Oliver or what would you do if.. scenarios. Besides, LPF and I would probably exchange "noob" variants like we do on MSN.

I've found they can slow down a sites loading time exponentially (That's like the first time I've ever used that word, probably didn't use it right. XD).
Also, they're only feasably usefull on very very large forums or sites. IT doesn't seem like the current activity here would warrant one. However I havn't been here very long so I dunno. =P
