ive noticed that trackers with shoutboxes have more active communities...your thoughts please
maybe
but i like IRC better :ras:
ye, irc is better
dont lie
irc is better, although some are active on shoutboxes...
the tracker can only be as active as the members that are part of it.
Shoutbox way better than irc, but causes huge site load, i think
A shoutbox is more often than not only used to cater to unintelligent conversations that might as well happen in a normal chatroom. If I want to chat, then I open my irc client, if I want to write something with enough value to be preserved, I use the forum that is integrated in most trackers. Shoutboxes were initially used like a less formal guest book on static websites, that doesn't apply to most of today's websites anymore - so in my opinion they have outlived their usefulness.
I don't like shoutbox coz it causes unnecessary load on the tracker n it sincerely i find it ugly. IRC all the way.
I think it is good to give a quick hello or announce something, welcome people to the site, etc. But I don't think it should be a chat room. I'm not a big fan of them and the trackers I really use, which have great communities, do not have a shoutbox.
BitMeTV has shoutbox and IRC is dead... Bad community but everything else is good.
I never like shoutbox.......good communitys is in IRC!!!!!!!
IRC is much better..
Many more options...
:)

the kraytracker shoutbox is definately good for community, but for larger tracker that aren't community based to begin with im not sure if it does much
its probably cause its shoutbox is for PU and above only
