absolutely not, for the reason Warriorscot already said. With a forum this size, we would have to have Staff members monitor it literally around the clock to remove offensive "shouts". No way in heck that would be feasible. Our Staff here already go above and beyond what we would ever hope for.
you wouldn't need Staff to be around the clock all the time to keep the Shoutbox from offensive shouts. you could just support a free for all shoutbox with anything goes. who cares what people do in a shoutbox, what real harm can be done? ofcouse curseing, sexually related links, insults to GeeksToGo, and other bad things could be said in the Shoutbox. but that isn't any much harm. but lol it's probabally not a good idea becuz of that cuz there is no control over a shoutbox besides createing it. not like the services u get with a chatroom with banning, etc. plus it wouldnt look professional. but really i just wanted to see what the Staff had to think about this.

that's EXACTLY why we can't do it...we WOULD need staff there all the time...this is a family forum and we can't tolerate ANY of that kind of content...not even for the time it takes between it getting posted..and us deleting it...it's not worth the troubleyou wouldn't need Staff to be around the clock all the time to keep the Shoutbox from offensive shouts. you could just support a free for all shoutbox with anything goes. who cares what people do in a shoutbox, what real harm can be done? ofcouse curseing, sexually related links, insults to GeeksToGo, and other bad things could be said in the Shoutbox. but that isn't any much harm

How would you feel if you had a child about 10 years old who wandered onto GeeksToGo..and read the "free for all" in the shoutbox? Think about it. As a mom of an 11 year old...and seeing what kinds of things are posted all over the 'net in free for all shoutboxes...I shudder at the thought of ever having one here.
*side note*
Monkey man..you totally made my day with the Kat not being old comment. I'm FEELING quite old today, since my oldest is dancing around singing about turning *gasp* 17 on Monday.
