(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright guys, an interesting topic crossed my mind. How would you react if there was no shoutbox? or even worse, taken away. This is just a theorized question. The way I see it, the shoutbox is the life of NGU, to simply put it. Due to the shoutbox, NGU opens to social interactions.

In the past, the shoutbox has been taken away due to technical difficulties and such, but not permanently. I think NGU would feel a bit dead without the on going life of the shoutbox. This may sound cheesy, but friends are made in the shoutbox I've met with some great conversations in the shoutbox in the past. However, there are negatives. For example, the leecher who just wants a hack or the raged member who demands a logical explanation for a closure of their thread.

Back to the question at hand, how would you guys react if NGU rids the shoutbox.

Id think id go back to facebook lol j.k but NGU would be a bit dry and less communication with each other.

I agree with the above post. We wouldn't know each other as well without it. We'd pretty much all be boring and shit.

I probably wouldn't come on NGU for a couple days like when we had that "new" shoutbox that felt like a downgrade.
No shoutbox makes NGU feel empty to be honest.
Viva la inferno!

make a thread telling people to go to ngu's tinychat

I'd use another forum for a few days!!

Meh, I would just wait in General Discussion thead until I stumble across a choob that posts a tinychat link :derp:

So, I take it the shotubox is a cherished part of NGU :biggrin: :y:

I rarely ever come on the forums anymore. 90% of my time is spent in the sb. If it weren't here, I probably wouldn't come on ngu anymore...

this is why there should be an IRC server. :y:
the site can afford it obviously, and it's cheap to set-up and run.
also, it's not hard to maintain.
