| I am for and against a shoutbox although I have one on one of my forums. They are good for a quick shout to anyone but bad in the sense that some days some users post there only. I also have mine hidden to guests. The delay also is a pain in the butt. Thinking of removing mine altogether. |

Is your shout box AJAX driven? There is no delay on an AJAX framework, I run that type of a shout box on my forum and it updates in real time with no lag or refresh needed to see new shouts. |

| I use a chat room rather then a Shoutbox as I have found the shoutbox just turns into a spam box, where as the Chat room is only used if users want to have an actual chat about something useful and meaningful therefore I don't have to worry about what is posted as much as it is deleted on regular basis. |
