    I was just thinking, wouldn't it be a nice idea to have a shout-box in the Lounge/non-badminton related Chit-chat section ? This might be a helpful tool for us to get to know other fellow badminton players/lovers more.
    This I'm sure, is supported by vBulletin. Many other forums have this function as well.

    Are there any cons/negatives about this ?

    A shoutbox basicly is like a chatroom in the forum, where people can interact with many people at once, also like instant messaging.

    chatroom type functionality has already been overruled as impossible to moderate. do a search for the details...
