It\'s actually not hard to set-up a shoutbox and if fact I had one up for a short time. It\'s just hard to say what real value it brings to the site and if there is something of interest to a wider audience that happens in a session, it is all lost to future visitors since there is no permanent record.

thanks for the reply. I never thought it would be easy to setup. thanks, Drew

Many thanks Matt,

mine was just a humble suggestion. You were FAST in adding the shoutbox, wow!
Maybe not a big deal, but if a couple or more members notice that they\'re online at the same time, they can even say HI in real time now.
Also, I completely approve the idea to allow comments just to registered members.

Thanks again

Wow thanks mattr a lot. This will be really cool. It might even encourage more people to join. Thanks Drew
