We need to have a stuck thread outlining what's been suggested and rejected before

I don't come around these parts much more but I felt inclined to post the following quotes.

You guys really have no idea how many times I have tried this chatbox nonsense and frankly each and every time we have the same issue.

Just way too many people on HabboxForum (yes I know we are burdened by our own greatness ).

People see a nice integrated chat/shoutbox on the forum and they want to chat about everything they possibly can type thus tiring the hamsters in their wheels that run to power our servers.

I mean it has actually extended to the point where because a lot of people are VIP's we cant even make it exclusive to a niche of users. So the only solution is something which doesnt rely on http POST and GET to simulate a chat and thats where our java/flash/C+/perl/PHP chat comes into play.

Chatboxs will just get spammed. They will be no use to the majority of people as too many will be typing uselss rubbish into it. It would be extreamly hard to moderate aswell, and has been said to slow down the forum.

If the current chat client isnt being used then what makes you think that a shoubox will :S

They are both pretty much the same.

A search of this forum would have brought up your answer to your suggestion .

However, looking at those quotes and others stated i can see why you dont have one
