on the main forum page we used to have a live shoutbox (it was called a Shoutbox haha), it was like a chat room for the forum. it took up A LOT of bandwidth and we had to get rid of it, so the 'teh shoutbox' thread pretty much spawned out of the 'box being taken from the site. so, it's just a chat thread, but there is one unwritten rule for it...don't bring or start drama in there.
