I wonder would getting rid of the shoutbox have a positive impact on this place? Some certain members seem to spend most of their time here posting in the shoutbox and not contributing much elsewhere on the site and maybe if the shoutbox was removed there might be a little bit more discussion around here.
Also the shoutbox seems to be the source of a lot of negative drama around here, for example the feud between Boo Boo and Captain Caveman which seemed to dominate the shoutbox a couple of years ago and resulted in bans. There's already been a few other cases this year which spiralled into meaningless arguing.
Sure it's good for a quick chat sometimes but in my view it seems to have a more negative impact on this place than positive. Anybody have any other opinions?
