    Having a shoutbox for your forum?

    Do you allow threads to go off topic?

    Kinda sorta. I rarely lock threads. If a thread goes off topic I just split the new discussion into a new thread with an appropriate title. I...

    Do you allow multiple forum accounts?

    Locking Topics When The OP Does Not Reply After X Days
