No it can, all you need to do is register with the shout box site and then put the HTML code on to the forum's index page. It won't really have different members, you will need to put in your name but it will still work :)

vBulletin can support a shout box, but I've decided not to put on up for the time being. The reson behind that is fairly complicated but in a nut shell its because it would prevent users from posting in the forums.

If theres a shout box available, alot of people will just post in that. Search engines cant spider the shout box, which in the end will only harm the search engine results for PS3 Court. At a time when the PS3 is still fresh on the market and grabbing members is at a premium, I'd rather have the posts spidered and included in the search engines then have the posts in a shout box where only real human eyes can see them.

There are plans for one comming up, but it wont be put in place until around next November.

Yeah, that makes sense. We have a lot of member who just join to ask one question, and if they could just go on a shout-box, then we'd a lot of posts.
