Im not sure what you mean by "use the peoples users". Are you asking if there is a way to make them use their forum screennames?

On any of the free shoutboxes i have seen, you dont have the ability to force them to use a specific name. There is no way to link your chatbox to your forum in a way that it "makes" them use that same name. That wouild entail embedging the shoutbox to the actual SMF software and SMF has already stated he was not planning on adding an SMF shoutbox. I have the paid version of CBox and with that one they can register the name they want to use (so noone else can use that name) but I cant "force" them to use any name.

nope there is no way to integrate the chatboxes so that they use the screenname they use with the forum.    [cbox does have user integration;  but it is only if you are hosting the site yourself and for a php based site.]
