No.
I'm talking about forum chat.
Like in vbulletin or phpbb.
DC can put a java irc page so, people can chat without the game or mirc.

A live chat is good but a shoutbox is bad.
Because in some shoutboxes you need to fill in the extra "What is 1103 x 74?" or "Type: UX69J" fields before submitting a message and that's really annoying. In chatrooms all you need is a username then you can submit messages anytime you feel like it that's why it's called IM (Instant Messaging). Some chatrooms require user to register to gain authorization to chat although that will just happen once.

CS2D already got a chat channel on IRC (Quakenet, #cs2d), by the way.

a chat does already exist as mentioned. get a client and learn how to use it. I'm not going to add a web-based client because this leads to many pointless joins of people who just want to try the web-based client. people joining, spamming and leaving are very annoying for users who are in the chat all the time.

a shoutbox is simply retarded and not a useful way for serious communication. it leads to spam and flame in first instance. no chance.
