Okay, I agree, it's fun to be spontaneous

Would you ever want to get an IRC?

Had a IRC channel once for this forum, but no one ever used it and I eventually dropped IRC...

Oh, I see, anyway, I can't wait to see the random shoutbox appearances!

You can come up with enough to equally support both sides. It's simply a matter of opinion.

Yes, and that was my opinion, not an attempt to get into a debate with you.

I also agree that is a great idea, especially for those of you that seem so persistent that it would take away from posting otherwise. I personally would rather post. Gives me time to think of a response. Some people might not even like a chat, since it puts more pressure to come up with something to say.

Yah, but you don't usually discuss serious things in chats do you?

Also having a shoutbox may raise the level of spam, but instead of spam posts, there will be spam shouts.

What do you mean spam shouts? Aren't all shouts pretty much spam, as they are all one liners.

I mean like people could type random stuff, of just go wild by pressing random key's.

I guess so, but wouldn't that deter people away from posting spammish topics, and in posts if they could do so in the shoutbox?

Well, that depends, but it wasn't what I mean. New users can be shy. They find it hard to make their first post. I would think it would be even harder to go into a chat with people they don't know and say hi in a live chat. I know I feel uncomfortable in a chat where I don't know anyone.
