I know there's a thread for chatting already, but I thouht it would be cool to have a chatbox/shoutbox on the index page. Just a thought, though.

Eh, we've had many suggestions for a Chat Box. The Chat Box is a no go because it doesn't automatically refresh, and even so, it ends up being dead in no time. We use the Shack in the Casino Park for chat because it is honestly better than the Shoutbox we have. Make sure you look at past topics in the Support Center to see the other Chatbox suggestions we've had...

That's not the reason, it does auto refresh and it usually isn't dead. The reason it didn't work the last time despite being popular is people were complaining that they couldn't post pictures or videos. Although I think they can both live in tandem. Shout box for chatting and shack for pointless images/videos.

The Shack does everything a Chatbox would do plus more.
Having both would be kinda pointless.

^ Pretty much this.

I'm surprised there hasn't been an outright torrent of people going "NOPE" in this thread already, to be honest.

I've got no real problem with one being implemented if that's what's really wanted, but odds are I'll just stick to the Shack. It helps to be able to read over what I missed since I live in a timezone that's at odds with most of the userbase.

A chatbox is okay, but that's why we have the Shack, and Skype, also. I think the forum is too slow for a chatbox anyway.

Oh, well, when I first experienced the ShoutBox, it only refreshed when I clicked refresh. It must've been my browser, my bad. And about posting pictures, you're right on that too. I remember people complaining about it.

It's nice to have the Shack, because you can quote other people and comment from maybe a few hours ago. It's hard to do that in a regular shoutbox, since it's a hassle to go back and read through everything.
