I seriously advice the moderators and other key people to the forum to make a Shoutbox or a chat located on the homepage so brothers can talk to each other..
I am not a moderator, so please disregard my comment if you wish.... but the problem with a forum chatbox is that then it would be available to all members to chat, not just the brothers. (You men have your own brother's section for personal chit chat.) Having an open chat for all genders opens up the possibility for freemixing. Even a private chat feature might encourage that too much. You will notice that PM messages are monitored as is. Just my two cents.
But having opening a Chatbox on the homepage, it would allow the brothers and sisters to interact about other things, that they cannot chat about in threads.
On the other hand, with the points given, I don't think having a Chatbox would actually help now..
gonna sound strange cant we have one in each gender section?i would like to chat with other sisters bout other stuff then the threads but saying that they still havent accept me in there section hehe sooo i dunno maybe pointless suggestion but think it over..i dunno
this would be the optimal addon, matching the aforementioned criterias. whereas i have to say, that this slows down the website and causes a lot of traffic...

In another forum which I go to in the sister section there's just thread for mindless chatter maybe we could just do that instead of a shout box but in our own sections.
