Tman786 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 In my experience, shoutboxes tend to be used by the active forum users more. In contrast, discord tends to have a lot more (ingame) users and as a result there can be a flood of messages at times. Hence, my suggestion is to also add a shoutbox to the forums. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to try and be active on Beta Discord, Game and Forums but I agree the Main Discord is flooded with people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLane Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Shout box is a good idea. Other than discord obviously, its good to see real time updates via shout box. Ofc, Discord kinda defeats the purpose of it, but its still a cool tool to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Everyone loves the sound of a shoutbox- me included 🙂 However I think why some servers don't have these anymore is because it poses as a security risk for the forums infrastructure, I could be wrong though. Furthermore we have discord for everyone to interact. ⚒️Beta Tester⚒️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wat Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 What purpose does a shoutbox have that cannot be fulfilled by forum posts, profile messages, direct messages, Discord, in-game and so on? Having a shoutbox on the forum just makes the index page look cluttered, and poses a security risk as stated above by @Diamond. No support.
