The Shoutbox

Anyone care to explain to a newbie what The Shoutbox is? I don't get it at all.
It's a little chat room. Just random conversations. It's fun - dive in, Stirchley.

LOL. I'm British - we don't dive in.

Don't be shy. Pretend you're Jonathon Pie. I love that guy!!!



*dramatic background music* Many years ago...

...people posted a lot of off-topic stuff in threads, so I created The Shoutbox as a sort of thread/chat room hybrid to house random stuff that didn't really have (or merit) a thread. Post whatever! If a conversation becomes more substantive and/or goes on for awhile, decent chance it'll just get moved into a thread, or a thread will be created for it.

It's gone up and down over the years and I was on the verge of reworking it until an uptick in activity the last few months. Probably still will make some tweaks to it before long, though.

So can I just post whatever without trying to follow what the person in front of me posted?

I like this poetic side of you, Dani.

Yup. The average conversation length in there is probably just a few messages.

He's a british journalist who tells the 'real' news when the camera cuts, but the camera stays on him. He's sensational. I'll get some linkies for you but they need a bad language warning. Not work safe.

OMG I'm a poet and I didn't know it. It's almost haiku, but not quite. Thanks MonnoM!

Don't trouble. Will now go & look myself.
