What is it that you guys have against the shoutbox? You do have the option to take it off if it suits you. --Neildown - De oppresso Liber  Semper fi  20:24, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, let me think ,whenever I see it, there is spam. Nothing useful, only SPAM! ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 16:57, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can't you just... remove it? After all, it's a widget. If you don't want spam, don't use it. DP 20:46, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Not every wiki shoutbox is just spam... It's a heck of a lot easier to discuss things with several people over the shoutbox than to have to post everything on several different user's talk pages and try to sort out the conversation from that. --Neildown - De oppresso Liber  Semper fi  17:28, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I checked ten different random wikis today. 8 had just spam. 2 were unused. It proves my point. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 20:48, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Not necessarily. 8 10 out of how many wikis on the internet??? I'd say that's a biased poll. Survey the entire wiki community and then I'll consider your point. And even if you can prove it, it doesn't make a good enough argument to ditch the shoutbox. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. That's why they made it optional and it should stay optional --Neildown - De oppresso Liber  Semper fi  22:58, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
