On a forum like Outline, it could completely destroy your general chat area, and some members might start showing designs there, asking for support etc. and it could escalate. idk, I voted no though.

How about if I somehow use AJAX to code a Shoutbox connected to the Chat thread? That is what was done on IF. Actually there is a code that actually recreates the IPB shoutbox code by making it so it gives you post count when you post in it much like how the current IF one does. I honestly don't care because the admins are most likely not going to want it and will just exert their authority regardless of any poll results or comments by anyone. If I want to use a shoutbox on a forum then I already know where to go for that.

Umm, no I voted no for the same reasons as Kuzco. I haven't seen a board anywhere that has done differently unless they always had one in the first place. If they(admins) don't want it t hen they will either say no, state reasons and lock this thread or just simply test it and make no effort to make it work because they don't want it to work.
