At the bottom of GT's home forum page a shoutbox should now appear in both styles. It's just meant for random chat and everything not worthy of a full post.

Didnt we use to have some sort of chat thing or something?
Bond

Yeah, but it was on another page and everyone had to be online at the same time to chat.

This seems much better!

Make sure you register your name in the shoutbox, or else anyone is free to assume your identity. GM :rolleyes:

Don't forget to use the Shoutbox. It's getting a little lonely.

No shouting in the shoutbox, please.

Shatting is absolutely fine, however.

Perhaps you should move it to the top of the page.

I mean, if you can.

I've seen that before, but I think it would be more of a nuisance than anything else.

I like the shoutbox, but holy pop up ads! I updated my adblock plus but it seems a little excessive.

The shoutbox produces pop-ups? I haven't gotten any on Safari so far. I'll look into it.

I've noted it both at work (IE) and at home (Firefox, prior to updating Adblock Plus).

Neither have I.

It doesn't look like there's a whole lot I can do. If enough people get pop-ups we can switch to another Shoutbox.

It doesn't really matter now that I've switched to a different ad blocking solution. I'm just neurotic about pop-ups. :p

Yeah, I'm getting pop-ups bad too.
Bond

Okay, I'm going to look into switching to a different kind of Shoutbox.
Bond

The Shoutbox has been removed until I can find one with no ads.

I think I was first one to notice.

Oh... nice early catch! I failed to make that connection.
Bond

The Shoutbox is back!

The Shoutbox told me to tell you that ts is very depressed and may commit suicide soon if there are not new shouts soon.

It seems the new Shoutbox brings out the worst in people... well, certain people.

We should start a GT donation thingy and see if we can fly out Jason1 to Prof S' place....where they will fight to the death.

I would pay to see that fight.

So would I.


I can't seem to find the box?


Is it gone again?

It's gone. I thought it was an entertaining diversion, it was the closest thing to a chatroom this forum will ever get.

Also, 2,666 posts. Wooo!

And now its back again, I think Bond is just torturing us.
Bond

It's gone. I just have to remove it on the other style.

It will come back if I can find an ad-free shoutbox that protects identities.

I miss the shout box like I miss my companion cube.

I enjoyed the whimsical woes of the shout box. If we are still going with the whole tavern metaphor the shoutbox was like the speakeasy in the back that only the cool people anonymously got invited to.
