Although a shoutbox is nice, it does create problems. Basically when you have a shoutbox setup it ends up receiving a ton of questions in it which are large enough to require a thread by themselves, and people actually post on the forum less. When people do get answers, within a day the shoutbox is cycled so the answer is not visible anymore and another person just ends up asking the same question. Unfortunately the negatives far outway the positive in this situation
