Shoutbox

No. No. No. No.

Staff need to post on the actual forum, not spend their entire time in staff threads. A shoutbox would only diminish some staffs activity further.

Staff forums already have spam threads.

Staff have spam threads and skype chats which has its pros and cons

A shoutbox would fit a forum booming with members and activity which this forum isn't

[Empired]

Maybe, Staff privilege to have a shoutbox in that forum for dying departments to help encourage applicants.

Nooo please

Staff have skype chats which does basically the exact thing as a shoutbox. I quite like staff skype chats actually because it's actually really annoying when you see inside jokes between a department posted on the forum and everyone who's not in the dept is just there like ?????????????????

The shoutbox isn't coming in any shape or form - Don't worry.

I am well aware of this. Hence why I said a shoutbox would diminish staff activity further.

Personally, I think spam threads for staff are unnecessary, and counter-productive in a forum that is already dying.

Any chance of some statistics on how many posts are made in vs out of the staff forums @xxMATTGxx?

TBH, Staff activity in the forums (excluding management+ forums) are not that active. Well at times they might be active but most departments I've been in the spam threads are pretty dead

Spam threads in the staff forums are dead ever since group chats on Skype/MSN

So the staff just hide on Skype, now?
