Shoutbox dilemma

Here's the deal.

There's this weird bug with the shoutbox that's occasionally locking all the users out. I HAVE NOT BANNED ANYONE FROM THE SHOUTBOX. The bug is temporarily relieved by removing the shoutbox post that allegedly caused the bug.

It's getting tiring, however, to have to fix this bug every time a new post appears. It's even worse for active shoutbox users such as flygonlover and Eievui, who have to wait on us to take care of it (only to have it come up again in a matter of days). And as I can think of no permanent hotfix at the moment, the question is: Should we get rid of the shoutbox?

Comments, questions, rotten tomatoes, etc. are all welcome.

Edit: Also, as an aside, I know that stupid "Users on IRC" thing to the right doesn't work. I'll get around to it.

You should just get rid of it because it keeps on messing up.

You have a point there Mr. Newo. Although why few of the shoutbox and comment posters have joined the forums is beyond me… Do they even know we have a forum?

I quite like being called "Mr Newo" (and Dr Newo appears somewhere on the site) ;)
Anyway, I am going to point out the fact that WE HAVE A FORUM in a very in your face style.

If I am allowed, of course.

Maybe they prefer the shoutbox because of how simple it is to post. But I should add a quick post thing.

Also, shouldn't we allow guests to post here too?
