forum shoutboxes

[billy]

Shout boxes are a stupid waste of server load when you can get together on irc and do the slandering. Oh and btw you dont need irc for that when you have a pm system at the forum, but then again that is a load on the forum server, so why not take it out on msn?

As far as irc goes its a beautiful lo-tek way of communicating live - you can do it from a 1980ties pc in command line. The question you need to ask yourselves is why does msn (and shoutbox) eat up that many resources when the functinality is basically the same???

yep i agrre.

though i think irc take people away from posting in the forums some of the times.
