Do you think a scoutbox is a good idea? sure it would take the post count down a bit but it could be for people with like 100 or 200 or even 500 or sumat posts +

There's advantages and disadvantages to it, but i'm guessing Omniscient will probably not add it in. Access to it by post count could be a good idea though.

Yeh not a good idea. Don't see any point in having one to be honest.

It attracts activity away from the forum and onto the ChatBox.

Shoutboxes uses a lot of resources, you'll never see one on a large site.
