At what point does the Shout Box become visible?

Yes it's purely supposition, but this site has gone mental since the talk of a HEN, and activity in "certain" topics is rampant. Since the site's "Big Guns" are hovering around the front page i can only assume that you're all laughing at the activity/discussing serious business () in a Shout Box.

Is there a pre-requisite amount of site activity for it to become visible, or is it a usergroup permission? Or am i completely wrong...(not that i'll know either way)

There is no shoutbox, but there is something better. If you go to the top of a page, click MfM Chat. This is M for Mature's IRC channel where you can speak to most of us, and have some discussion.

Saw that already.....just the fact that the Site Admins and Davee are all hovering around the main page piques my curiosity....although admittedly i've no idea if that's what it would display if they where in the IRC Channel!

Chances are you will always find a couple of site staff on IRC, also I see Davee on IRC a good bit.

Most of the active forum members can be found in IRC. It's like a second home for some of us.

I assume you mean current locations listing in "Who's Online". You'll seldom see someone listed as using MfM Chat in there because most people will continue to read the forums in a browser tab while they use it (or access the channel using another client).
