It's a... well, a box that can be added to the main page of forums. Users can insert names that'll be attached to messages that are posted immediately... it's like a thread right on the main page that's easy to access.

Having said that, we've talked about it and will probably give it a pass. Having a shoutbox on a forum seems kinda redundant. Given that the above description can also describe a forum itself, but without the need to put in a name (with no verification... which leads to easy abuse).

Thanks for the idea though, Empire. Seriously, love hearing suggestions from people.

^_^ no prob fur the idea. the abuse thing i can understand, we had a problem with that on our gaming forum till it was changed that only ppl who have made a certain number of post on the forum can use it. it has kept random ppl from doing just that. hey isnt that another suggestion haha ^^
