Ok when forums are in there first stages of growing they are always hard to get post going. So the request is to remove the chat box. Weird request ehh? But it works, if you dont want to remove it complemently make a group that is VIP, or a "Privalegd" Group. The Privaledged group would get the chat box after x amout of post,..... What do you think? |

I like this idea alot.... And you are right, The shoutbox can sometimes take away alot of posting members could do. But right now the SB doesn't have to much Nintendo discussion if it gets to the point where there is some Nintendo discussion I will add a SB rule header saying "Please no Nintendo Discussion In The ShoutBox" and if that fails I will remove it until we build a better userbase. But for now it's fine. |

The discussion that occurs within the shoutbox does not belong in the regular discussion, thats the reason its there. The forums are not for the small talk that occurs in the shoutbox. |

The shoutbox idea is good. However, the VIP group is a bad idea. It is horrible to divide up members with higher-class ones to lower-class ones. It stays for all or it goes for all. |

Thats why I kind of didn't want to add a shoutbox, because I wanted to keep it just the forum until it got rolling. But I guess its easier with the chat box just for small talk and leave the forums for actual content. |

Small talk can be posted in General Discussion topics. I agree with this idea, but not the VIP group. Keep the Shoutbox disabled. |

Like I said there isn't a problem right now so I will only add a rule to the shoutbox, If a problem starts I may consider disabling it. |

Small talk shouldn't go in general discussion in my opinion, all that would do is encourage people to make short posts that no one would want to read through. Posting that doesn't have a meaning to a large discussion has no purpose in a forum topic. For that reason the shoutbox should stay. Small talk includes things like "hey", "how are you doing" and "Man this Mario game is so much fun" |
