So I have owned and been members of sites with all different types of chat boxes and frankly I want to know what most people prefer. I mean what are the advantages and disadvantages of certain C-Boxes or C-Boxes in general. Everyone's opinion is greatly appreciated if you would please post.

other. =P eh. i'm pretty indifferent. i've used them before and liked them, and on some other sites i've felt they're not needed.
edit;; from a functionality point, i like either cbox or saybox. easy to customise and administrate, and don't have noise.

I've had a Saybox before and I was pretty happy with it -- like Kami said, it's pretty easy to manage and doesn't have a ton of frills slowing down the loading time. That was back when I actually had a website, though. Chat boxes are a good way to get quick feedback from visitors if you have a website, though I think they're kind of redundant to put on a message board.

I've used sayboxes and cboxes in the past, and have been pleased with both I usually put it in a board's footers instead of the main page's footers. Just my preference

lolwut!?! Why did you go with SayBox!?! The owner is very attractive hahaha. yeah, cboxes are great. if you don't like constant beeping, then don't get a chatango. that also requires signing up (for an account just to use it, and if you own the chatango, you have to sign that up too). And at first you get spam messages from other people that use chatango. it gets annoying. I've never used a saybox, so I can't help you there. Cbox is good for everything. if you don't get the premium, then you'll spend your time clicking te refresh button, but it's still okay.

Xat for my vote, cboxes are annoying to refresh and impersonation is always an issue, plus, Xats can be muted ;D

I like using Chat Boxes. The paid version is also worth the money as I can delete anybody posts on there and ban a member without having to log into the cbox admin panel. I don't care much for Xat, and I tried Chatango and didn't like it. We also believe it somehow infected somebody else's computer, the code anyway. So yeah. Chat boxes for me. I never like to introduce one too early as I feel they take away from some activity on the forum, but later they're a good thing to have as it make communicating between members much easier

I've only ever used c-box and saybox. I prefer either one really. The chatango ones that are bulky and whatnot always seemed, I dunno, immature to me? I'm not sure why though, they just did. They weren't sleek I guess. I dislike any that make noise too, which is why I like c-box and saybox for the most part.

When i first joined forums, the shoutbox on one site was the main hub for all the happenings - mainly as the group as very close knit (knew everyone well offline too) so it felt more natural to use it, plus it was run using Ajax so it had the abiliy to auto-refresh. Other than that, i've rarely used them as i've seen them abused more than anything.
