has been disabled now for guests as it used too much of bandwidth for the members.
BUT
it has many uncommentd features, for instance it takes BBcode so you can format your shouts and you can even send images.
you can use PM and it will work in two ways in bbcode or clicking on a nci within the shoutbox which will open another tab within the shoubox... there you can PM your buddies...
the shoutbox can be detached, means you can open it as an own window
there is an archive that can be looked at when you click at the top on the Shoutbox link and so on. you can personalize it if you want to see PM messages or you can ignore/ban others... well the ban is left for staff only
