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...

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.

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.

And about posting pictures, you're right on that too. I remember people complaining about it.

It's hard to do that in a regular shoutbox, since it's a hassle to go back and read through everything.
