Why doesn't seven forums have a shoutbox?
A shoutbox would certainly help clear up any clutter and many people would take advantage of this for general talk and quick help?
it seems like a good idea to me
p.s. get the new windows live icons on this forum

A shoutbox would limit participation. Only those online at that instant would have a chance to see the shout and we have members around the globe. For help, there would not be a permanent record and others with the same question or problem who come later on would not have the benefit of that information saved in a thread. A shoutbox is more difficult to moderate.
Just my opinion; not a slam or a put down.

I agree with Carl. There i no need, nor point to a Shoutbox in a forum such as this one.

I have seen many shoutboxes all to a varying degree of success. On several forums it has worked well for simple questions or general chat. On others it is just a spam fest and the serious questions quickly get shunted down. So I'm 50/50 when it comes to shoutboxes.
