There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I would tend to agree with Bondai. It's difficult to follow sometimes because it is going so fast. I think it would encourage more participation in the forums.

Folks, it IS possible to hide the Shoutbox if you don't want to see it.

Bin.Go. It's just an added feature. Some people use it, some don't. Those that don't, and don't want to see it, can minimize it in the top right. If it's going too fast, you can disable refresh until you catch up. I do this a lot. It's also new to a lot of people since only a chosen few had access at CU. The newness might wear off in a while, but it still serves a purpose. ...like at 2AM when people are drunk and just want to talk shit.  :-)

I like it because it is different than posting in the forums. It allows for more chit-chat, and you can get to know people a little better.... :drunksailor:
