That's where the history would come in. Do you think the last 200 or 500 things said would cover that 5 min window?

Looking at today's information (including all connect/disconnect messages and die rolls), IRC has had about 300 messages between 10AM and 2PM. Sometimes it is definitely more chatty than that though.

The chattiness of it might be an issue.

I've been on chat, I've seen you guys talk for 20mins about the most recent sifi movie and make 50 chats about it in that time.

Now poor Hayabusa shouts once, "Hey Trog, you are up in such and such a game." <--- lost in the chatter now. Just my thoughts.

True, though I've seen that happen in the current shoutblock too.

Yea. Maybe you should keep the shoutbox for the reason that V said. If someone like Haya doesn't want to be in the chat ever, then he needs some other instantaneous way of contacting multiple people
