i voted shoutbox and here is why, this happened to me twice where random people would come into the chat and start chatting it up in different languages and I couldn't read what anyone else was talking and I was the only one that could see this so I had to spend time to block these people which doesn't help because more spammers come in. I like knowing that our chats are secure and that when I refresh a page to see what new posts there are I don't lose an entire private conversation with people, the other chat was broken and sure shoutbox has drawbacks as well but at least it is not broken and unsecure. I am sure there is another chatbox to put up to see who is online, when you could just go to the bottom and go to the who's online page. From what I know there are a couple of people that did a lot of work for this site and are still working hard to find a perfect chatbox to use and I think they need a big thank you, so thanks to everyone who was involved in paying for this site, putting it together, and helping with ideas to put it together. I just hope that the best decision can be made about this and whatever decision it is I hope it involves getting rid of the old way of chatting, that was really starting to bother me because of the spam that came in and I was really excited to find out we were getting a new site. I don't think something like the chat should be put up to a league wide vote, that is just what I think, just because I believe that the admins and the owner of this league will probably be here when/if this league ends and the rest of the GM's I have seen some come and go, I am not proposing that be the case I am just making an observation I guess
