What is the shout box?

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.

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.

Agreed.

 

Just a note here:

 

to those using the shout-box, don't expect any  good advice from it.
