Can we have a shoutbox? This might reduce some SPAM here.

actually, if doc did have a shout box, not only would there be spam on the board, but there will probably be spam on the shoutbox, which would make the site not look good really. ^^;

Someone asked about this to me a while back. ProtoStar resumed my position. If you want a shoutbox to reduce spam here, wouldn\'t that simply get MORE spam on that thing? Rules #1 to 7 apply on the whole site, including a potential shoutbox. There just isn\'t anything to gain.

Looking for me elsewhere? Maybe look at my Fediverse account for some more-or-less random postings! If you're a gamer, check out my Osmium profile. I'm building that tool!

Now now, you were trying to help, so I doubt that\'s spam.

You guys must go to lousy boards then :P
All the shoutboxes I\'ve seen have no SPAM. Only chat stuff. I know we have a chat room but I can\'t access it with my current comp. >.<

Oh, I had an idea about the shout box.

Maybe only people who had 5 star rankings could post there?
