I Think we should get the shoutbox's like vbulletin, smf's reputation would be a little better with this, probally very hard to program ect but would be a good reputation and very helpful for members

This is up for discussion

yea this has bene up for discussion before

although like LL said it wouldnt be to good with smf support

this is a support forum and could you imagine the ammount of spam on the shoutbox

you would need like a 24/7 mod on there to clean it all up

This has been requested loads of time in the past, and I believe it's some issue with speed. I think SMF For Free would have better reputation if the forums loaded faster, not if it had a lot of fancy features that slows down forums.

Vbulletin is also kinda expensive I think?  Notice how it says "free" in our forums?  You can't have everything for nothing, unfortunately.

A shoutbox would not be a good thing for here.  Too many opportunities for spam and potty mouth.

vBulletin causes a lot of load on servers. A lot of hosts don't allow you to use it. I wasn't talking about loading up slow from a bandwidth perspective, from a server one.
If you want a shoutbox, you could always get one from those free shoutbox providers.

Shout/Chat Boxes normally require a database.    Databases do cause a server load, and it could slow our forums down.   There are many good, free shoutbox, chatboxes out there that you can use on your own forums.

I dont "think" this suggeston was meant as a suggestion to have one here on support.   (and if it was my opinion is also that would be a huge mistake)
