yellaheep Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah, I don't get the purpose of the shout box either. It's like live-blogging I guess....... but trying to follow what's going on in there most of the time is like herding cats....... Plus, info gets lost in there. I say scrap it personally.

Doc. Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Isn't that what they used to stand on in the olden days to speak up on politics and what not? Oh wait, that was a soap box. Don't know what a shout box is, never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Seems like mostly newbs use it. I guess they find a use for it. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Another forum I belong to has an area for "Blogs." Like our shout box, I never even look at it. If I wanted to read blogs, I would go to a blog site. If I'm in a forum site to discuss, I'm in a forum site to discuss. Seems pretty straightforward to me, but it seems like the people/companies that create forum software think they have to be like a Swiss Army Knife of Internet software. IMHO we would be better off if they would just focus on making their forum software work better, faster, and more reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note here: to those using the shout-box, don't expect any good advice from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I wish I could make it go away, but I don't have the skills to change code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
