Well a shoutbox makes your community more stable ppl get to know people more. so i would. if i were you

[Phozon]

i would if i was you plus i'll install it to if you want as im already admin

[LinkFire]

Yes.
I have a very strong opinion

[sherwood]

Nah I wouldn't.

There's no need for one right now is there?

Maybe think about putting one in when your members are requesting for one,

[kenshin]

agree with carnage. a shoutbox is good for the community but be prepared to fight SPAM coz u will get tons of it.

[Phozon]

shoutbox is already installed

Shoutboxes are nice, but they reduce forum activity DRAMATICALLY. The activity difference between a forum with a sb and without is night and day. If you do; make it a privilege. VIP++ no-one that isn't vip, smod, admin, owner. This will make regular members buy VIP for the sb and if they don't they will be forces to only post in the forum and you wont lose your activity. Either way, You win.
