why dont we have a shout-box?! #1
its more fun with a shout-box, rather than having the discord server banned or so on, shout boxes are cool and amazing... Why don't we have one?!


RE: why dont we have a shout-box?! #2
I've asked about this too. I have no interest in going externally to chat with the members, a shoutbox would be neat.

Generally with our forum, I figured this went without saying. However, recent discussion has led me to believe otherwise. People are encouraged to read and follow our rules, especially those regarding illegal content. You have been warned - @Oni

I'm not going to lie, back in the day I really enjoyed it as a feature. Many people are into the whole discord thing. Having it integrated was fun but those days are gone.

Edit: just looked at other thread, would def take away from forum activity. Nvm not needed here lol.

We did have it for a spell. I think the fact we no longer have it, speaks for itself. Unfortunately, people will always gravitate to using discord.

If we have it separate I wouldn't mind a shoutbox too much, but in my opinion they tend to be more of a nuisance than a positive feature and there's not a great way to moderate or manage who has what permissions in them. I wouldn't hate it but I think the lack of it is one of the things that makes the site more appealing to me.

It was the In-thing close to 10 years ago, but It's significantly died since then.

Nowadays, rarely do I come across a board with an "active" shoutbox.

There are plenty of forums with active SBs, the issue though is it creates a demand for more moderators. People scout to see if there are any staff online, if there isn't they tend to get involved with shady stuff.

We have *two* different ways to communicate off the forum, why feel the need for a third?

Shoutboxes only reduce post quality and that's a given. I'm a big no for this suggestion.
