We have updated to the newest version of the forum. Please let us know if you see any issues. And, yes, we know the shoutbox is gone. We'll see about getting it back if they make a newer version.
You know, I was thinkin. Chatbox seems to crash about the same time. Usually by the time I run up about 40k posts in it. Considering I've done it a few times now, I wonder if the cache on it just can't handle that kind of load every time it boots and starts to shit the bed.
The average chat box is used for misc items here and there, 10 chats/shouts and hour or something. We hit hundreds within hours and that constant refresh was killing the server. So yeah, I'm looking at other options.
