seems like threads get off topic real fast here, I am guilty of this myself, would putting in a shout box or chat type interface up here help this shituation? It seems like popular threads just turn into random chat at times more often then not so what do you guys think? ---

Almost all forums I’ve seen with that feature were dead. Rspeed had much less posts in threads, same with a few others I can’t think of off the top of my head. Quick ways to kill a forum: 1. Too many sub-forums. 2. Chatbox. ---
