A shoutbox is a cross between a live chat session and a forum. It's great for quick little messages back and forth. Please tell me if this is something that you would use/play around with. I'd hate to spend all the time setting it up and not have anyone use it.

Thanks!

Is it one of those things that leaves messages on the front page?

How would you protect it from spammers or pissed off people.

Admins would have a way to edit out posts.

Either on the front page or at the bottom of the page where the forums are listed. For an example, go over to realitymod.com

Voted no... could be done way better by using an official WiH IRC channel.

Yeah, but some of us can't use IRC at work.

There are java plugins for IRC for this website... and how many people would actually shoutbox from work?

I thought alot of people would use it as it'll be actually embedded at the top of the page. So easy to access, people will always talk in there. It's a good idea, I've seen them in acton alot of times before. :thumbsup:

If we got one (irc channel) that would ROCK! I have been hoping that WiH would get an irc channel then we could hop on and get scrims with the clans here. That would UBER PWN!

Don't point the finger. I was just saying that the reason I voted no was because there are better tools out there.
