The previous shotbox had a list of top shouters or something like that. A list of the top chaters or something similar on the chatbox to keep track of the number of messages send by each member would be nice. Also if the chatbox automatically refreshed itself every minute so you don't have to worry too much about the clicking the refresh button so much. Of course it could be every 30 seconds or something. Just whatever you think would work best.

I think that a faster refresh rate would be fantastic. But imho the top chatters part would probably just invite spam.

I don't see why. The previous shoutbox which was the first thing that was put on this site to chat with other people had it. As long as nobody gets obsessed about being the number 1 chatter then everything should be fine. There wasn't any problem with that before that I am aware of.

Well, it was just an opinion, really. The potential would be there, but I don't know that it would be abused.

the chat box is already spam central, i don't know how it would possibly invite more... but I'm fairly certain the functionality you describe is not available, since for every post on the front page one gets deleted on the back.

That is quite true.

I don't know if it can be done but if the chatbox could refresh after each message that was typed. That would be even better. That way you don't have to constantly keep clicking the refresh button to see if anyone has sent any messages.

If I remember correctly, the Top Shouter position was given to only the most annoying members, the sort of people who would say things like "BLOOP" about 50 consecutive times, thereby removing from the front page anything worth reading and forcing the average member to rake through 20 Archive pages of blooping and "HAI GUISE" to see if anyone revealed the meaning of life.

oh yes, there was a problem. (cue wavy screen/day dreaming noises and enter classic ZG from right) I remember, it was a battle between me, JJAB, pythonkid,midnafan, and somebody else. and we kept going and going. until they reset the counter, and made everyone start from 0. I kinda gave up there and then a little while after they removed the shoutbox.(cue wavy screen returning to present ZG and post). So you see that just woudlnt be good.

Ok, but I still think that the idea about the chatbox refreshing itself every time somebody else sends a message on the chatbox would be a good idea. That way you don't have to keep hitting the refresh button to find out if anyone send a message on the chatbox.
