I see your point, we'll stick to useful modules like calenders, clocks, and site stats hahah.
I just thought it would be a nice idea since this gungame site has a feel of a "community" site now, and most communities have shoutboxes on their sites for people to say hello without having to start an entire thread. I think we can all agree, this has grown beyond a site to support a plugin.
I think a shoutbox is a pretty good idea. Sc0pE had shown me one and I suggested it would be fine to put it in. Then we tried to get the chat app to work but a shout box would be cool.

The shoutboxes that I have seen are unmoderated. I don't care for the idea. Also, I am moving this post as it is in the wrong section.
GunGame5->General Discussion->Suggestions to Site Administration
There are quite a few shoutbox mods out for Phpbb3, but I'll just list one of the better ones that can be found here (Phpbb3 site). You can delete messages/edit them, etc.
Also idle chatter encourages participation even on a small scale, then people can work up some courage to then ask some big questions/requests in their own threads.
Making people feel comfortable is a good thing in a community.
The install file is really messed up. It is not the standard phpbb3 install file and none of the finds match up with phpbb3 correctly. I will try again, but not all of the finds it mentions exist as mentioned.
