The shoutbox being registered-only is a recent thing, due to it being hit with spam constantly - it would just be pointless to even attempt to get any kind of meaningful use out of it like that. I believe the <a href="http://www.allaboutgames.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=agree" rel="nofollow">registration form</a> is still in working condition, but it obviously still holds some (actually, make that a lot) of the outdated code. The forums themselves aren't yet up purely for technical reasons; namely that it's difficult to convert them to the new system. This theme development actually helps this along, as it allows me to develop my CSS skills, which can then be fed back into the forum code. If anyone's very good at CSS (that's Cascading Style Sheets, not Counter Strike: Source) and reading this, and wishes to help, please contact me. As for that being all that we're good for, I'd dispute that; we have still maintained visitor numbers whilst the forums have been down, though I'll be the first to admit that we do need more staff for more regular content updates.

The policy of removing them and then not allowing guests to post on the shoutbox is costing this site thousands of new users. This site was only good for posting on the forums and the shoutbox.
