The shoutboxes have been removed temporally in an effort to investigate the issue with server lockouts. As the shoutbox is constantly refreshing, the server may be thinking this is a DOSS attack. Please feel free to use the new chat system for personal messages.
Also note there is the spam and chat section of the forum you can post open conv's not to mention the FORUM for any questions.
We thank you in advance for your patience on the matter.
If you experience a server timeout, please be very specific and post the date, time, browser, and action you were preforming. If you are not specific it doesn't help us any.
We are doing everything we can to ensure the site is safe all our members to enjoy.
