 Hey,

I want to put a shoutbox on my new site. I tried a couple out for my old site but didn't really think much of them.

Does anyone recommend a good, reliable, easy to use shoutbox?

Thanks :)

 http://shoutmix.com is a decent service, but it's a bit limited. No ads, though.

http://myshoutbox.com is NOT reccommened by me anymore. Worse than shoutmix, and they have been known to pop porn links into your box from time to time... so I hear.

 Hey I know one or two people who would probably like that last one for that reason. ;)

I had a look at the first one - thanks! Its a bit like a flooble one I tried before but they had really annoying pop ups and if a member doesn't have a pop up blocker it can get really frustrating for them.

There was and probably still is a decent code for one here I think by Zero Tolerance but it took a long time loading the page and didn't have an auto refresh.

Does anyone recommend any others?

 The best shoutboxes are the ones you make yourself.

Zero Tolerances was the best one, I used it for a short time. Sadly that one isn't coming back, and there is none like that one. The thing that made that one cool is that it took the name that was being used on the actual forum - never done before. But the server load that was put onto it was unbelieveable. I think, if I remember right... it used around 40,000 MB per day. :unsure:
