I think we should re consider a relaunch of the shoutbox. That shit was great and it brought people closer together.

any thoughts or suggestions to make this happen?

Basically:

-Was an instant messaging area at the bottom of the forums, which everybody could see and chat with each other without going onto TS or submitting a forum post. 
-Was an amazing decision, forum activity was NUTS - people spoke about pointless stuff there. As such, forum posts became better.
-Someone high up decided that what was going on in there wasn't 'representative of the community, and we don't want newcomers seeing that' - even though we get 1 new person every 2 months anyway. As such, 45 angry MEMBERS who saw the removal as unjust. 
-Various polls attempted to revive it, with about 80% saying yeah, ignored by high command multiple times.

Cheers, it sounds good, less shitposting and such don't see why this can't be given another chance?

The banter alone is worth the re-addition.

 

Thanks to Lewis for covering it briefly
