    Shoutbox on a forum, pretty repetitive... And no it'll create spam and an easy way to curse and make the community MAD GAY.

    i dont really think we need a shoutbox, way too many users...could you imagine like 50 messages a minute?

    i think the IRC chat is good, even tho i dont use it

    Yeah it would be a waste of time for dave or llama to install it since nobody could really have a conversation and then people could post badwords and stuff...arguments, etc

    We have about one shoutbox suggestion in this forum per month, and the reason we don't have one is because:

    - There will be far too many posts at peak times
    - Takes up space
    - There is an IRC room for quick chat with other members
    - It could be easily spammed
