I voted yes but it really doesn't make a difference to me, either way. I don't normally use it so whatever.
I think getting rid of it can easily go both ways.....on one hand, people will hopefully turn their thoughts to posts instead of rushing to the shoutbox, like when Raw is on and people are making comments in the shoutbox instead of the Raw thread.
On the other hand, some people seem to log in more for the shoutbox than making posts, so we will lose some members if they see that they can't fuck around in the shoutbox anymore and will have to post more than they are used to.
Not saying #2 is a bad thing, because those people who only like to shout and not post much are already fucking useless, so losing them would make no difference.
