Productivity for users (both at work and with regards to posting on the site) tends to drop dramatically whenever a shoutbox is implemented. =P
Chat is so much more fun than a shoutbox. Â True story.
Just to clarify: when I say shoutbox, I mean a little box at the top of the forums with active, live chat happening inside. You post, and it uses your forum account name. You usually have font and font color options.
These are also known as a chatbox, depending on whom you ask. Which results in confusion from time to time.
EDIT: Seeing Coat's post made me realize. What I'm talking about, and what is known in vBulletin as a shoutbox, is actually the same thing as the Enjin chat plugin, as opposed to Enjin's "shoutbox". Hence the confusion.
