Having a shoutbox on a webmaster forum would be one of the most ridiculous things anyone could of suggested, I don't think it'll be added here.
I think it should be added man so we can talk with other webmasters there bassically vb shoutbox is based on ajax so it helps you to chat via shoutbox
Thank God This suggestion has been brought up many times and Shawns refusal to add one is in line with the majority of members not wanting one. If you love the shoutbox concept on a webmaster forum, you can go here. Just beware of ads and karate belts (PS .. That link is a joke as the shoutbox there has been a miserable failure which only attracts spammers and morons)
even on my forum it was suggested a shoutbox. my reply was similar to shawn's. shoutbox are for kids and spammers.
