Shout Box?

Guy · Post by **Guy** » Apr Wed 02, 2008 9:21 am

Hey Mr Subsonic - would it be possible to get a shout box for the website. I notice that a lot of the other (not so good) Disney sites have shout boxes and thought it might be a good idea. I know that we already have 'chat' but something without the navigation that people could just post comments about what's playing etc. would be really good.

What do other people think?

I don't even know what that is...

It's basically a box that people can write in in real time (a bit like MSN) - sites like mousebites have one of their front page.

Yes - something like that. Whikipedia have an entry on them:

There seem to be a few sites that offer free ones!

Sounds like a cool idea. Hopefully people would understand it's purpose and not have it wind up just another chat function.

Sometimes when I log on in the morning I'll see many of the "regulars" online as well. It would be nice to say a quick Hi or comment on the now playing list coming up without getting into the chat room. (it can be hard getting out of there once your in

)

A shoutbox would be kind of neat for those of us slackers online/posting from work who can't slip into the chatroom to say hello to people.

This is what I thought it would be really good for - chat rooms can be difficult to get out of

Haha, exactly. But, I will add it to my unending list of things to do for the site. Be warned, it's VERY low on my priority list.

Sound's great and no rush! What other exciting things do you have install for us?

The items that have been on my list for a while are Images associated with the tracks and more live DJ sessions. But there's priorities that are even before SR.
