Topic: Shout Box/Chat Box

Some of the most active forums I been on has had what is known as a shout box displayed at the top or bottom of their forum.

It can be used as an easy way to send a mass message to all members / used to mention things that don't need a topic dedicated to it or even used to announce important updates.

So if I understand this correctly this would be a way for the forum owners to send messages to all users? Or more like a global chat? I have seen both being called a shoutbox in forums.

Some form of announcements are a great idea in my opinion. And I am sure a chat would also be possible :D

We should just think what users would like to see, so I am hoping for more ideas.

What do you think of a global shoutbox/chat that is implemented as steem comments? One could even have a small 1% :black_heart: button next to each shout :thinking:

Announcement global pinning is a great idea, I will note that down.

If a chat box is implemented and on chain then it could eat up allot of RC. Which could he a huge hinderance to new players / players lacking RC. It might be best to have a chat box that isn't connect to STEEM comments. If it must be connected then I would 100% go with a shout box over a chat box.
