is it possible to make the shoutbox public?

[Coverfire]

That would be nice, but maybe they want it to stay private, that way random people can't come and spam it.

I think we all know what sort of nightmarish spamming would go on by random website go-ers that would otherwise just leave without posting anyway. Or ghosts of the past would show up and there would another controversial event. If you really want to make one public, make it far away from the homepage and keep the private one

nah i dont think that there would be so much spamming.
i meant that all people who registered here can use it.
not guests.

i'd like to make it public, and just give some people ban powers to help supervise it. it'd be easy to just ban the annoying patrons.

Isn't it easier to just make a public and a private?

That may be a good solution, I have actually been thinking of that possibility and maybe it would be possible for it to be hidden from all non-members, sort of how when ranks existed there were maj., col., etc. forums that were only visible to someone at or above the rank required to view the forum.

Howabout, if you are logged into the fourum, you can use the sb, it being at the top of the fourums

There are technical issues with making the existing shoutbox public.
