Actually I would find a shout box awesome too! It would allow you to talk to other members of this board getting to know them more.

Cheers, Red. :)

Well, what about an IRC channel? That's a groupchat thing.

Well this one would be when people are browsing the board and do not want to sign int IRC right away, it is more of a never-ending "random crap thread" type :P

But IRC might have it uses as well. So I am not too fussed either ways.

You people sure seem to want a lot of extra features. I'm just not sure they're all really necessary. I mean the whole forum is for chatting in. You can send PM's, use IM's or IRC. Personally I don't think chatting with anyone's a problem.

Oohh, a shout box isnt a bad idea!

I've spoken to Keita about developing a front page "gateway" for the site, instead of a forum redirect.. Obviously I cant just whip up something overnight, but I will attempt to give it a go. Of course, anyone could have an attempt at it too.

The shoutbox could easily be included on the front page, along with a number of other features. The additional features would obviously be restricted to registered users only.
