Arrow SHOUTBOX: Yes or No?

I'm considering installing a shoutbox [tag board] on CompuForums, but I want to know what everybody's opinion is first.
In case you don't know...
Quote:
Tagboards are miniature message boards that web pages utilize for quick communication. They are much like Instant Messengers, only all messages go directly to the site. A user types in their message and it is added instantly (through a feature called "auto-refresh") onto the board, allowing chat and comments to take place without wasting forum space
So - would you like a shoutbox on CompuForums? Vote NOW!

I'd say put one on, just so I can talk to you a lot quicker. It would help greatly with this forum, I can try and code you one if you like.

Id say yes to the shoutbox, but with the provision it wasnt used as a shortcut for the longwinded questions, keep the posts going for the questions, maybe have the shoutbox as a 'common area' where you talk in general.

Yes I agree with blueparukia, We can talk back and forth without going to msn.

Everyone agrees with me.......Mwahahahah

Anyway, I coded a shoutbox, and its not great at all, it will do the job, but has no admin privileges, I implemented it on my test forums and it worked fine, but I would recomend using:
Jcink.com - free scripts, games, forums, and hosting!

OK then - I asked, and you all spoken. A shoutbox is coming later today!

I'll be using one specially created for vB. Why? Because your username will automatically be added along with it's special colour [if there is one], and it's quick for me to install, too.

^ Well that can be right, but it removes the need for very simple threads, and if you don't like it, you don't have to use it
