I think Mac Forums needs a shoutbox for people to chat and communicate quickly.

We've had a shoutbox in the past, if I remember correctly. Never added very much value to the forums IMO. If you want to scribble random thoughts, I'd say create a Twitter account ;)

I think Rob was trying to help by offering a more familiar metaphor. Besides, it doesn't matter who answers the question, as long as the answer makes sense to you, right? ;)

We just mis understood eachother. He didn't know i made the topic and thought that I didn't know what a shoutbox was, but really I was asking what something else was.

If you check out post #4 in this thread..."robduckyworth" was clearly replying to your question in post #3...about what IRC was.

Oh brother, now I think we're all a little confused! :D

Regardless, anyone might chime in to answer a question at any time, even if the conversation has swayed toward a slightly different topic. That's the beauty of the forum.

Maybe you were a bit confused as to what a Sticky Notice is? Surely you know what an IRQ channel is. Sticky notices are at the head of the forum on top to be read first.

I was directing your attention to the Sticky Notice which gives information about the IRQ channel.

Ah... my slip-up, maybe I was thinking about my IQ? :p Yes, I meant to say IRC channel. Can't blame macuser1232 for being confused. My apologies to him if I messed over his mind.... O:)
