We had a shoutbox on some reincarnations of the SFSE forum (some time between 2013 and 2015, I don't remember exactly). When the shoutbox was first introduced, people were excited and used it quite a lot. Slowly but surely it became unpopular, maybe one message per week. On the other hand, SFSE has more players now than it had back then. So, from my perspective, it's worth trying.

This would be a great way to convey short messages, questions from players ("Hey, is the server down?") that don't warrant their own thread. It would also be helpful for announcing events (which, we really need to do more of...), updates and other things that would have the potential to draw an extra player or two to join the server!
We can look at implementing restrictions if there are abuse issues (i.e. spam/advertising) by means of setting a minimum registration time to use it, minimum post count, etc.
