Steve.. First of all, I love all the work you have done on SMO Shoutbox and for PU Arcade in general.

Next, is this a new Shoutbox altogether, or is it a plugin for RISP, or what exactly?

Finally, I will be using JomSocial, PUArcade, Agora Forum (BTW, you should check it out, www.joomlame.com Olympus is the latest version), and will be using Alpha User Points as much as possible to expand my website into a true social network.

I am thinking about using RISP, since it seems to have evolved, but it really depends on what you are up to, and could you consider adding Agora support (New shout on Forum Post, adding Karma

its a complete rewrite, new shoutbox and new announcer.

this is not a new version on an update...

Is your current shoutbox randomly announcing games?

that was a custom hack i made for puarcade

if i can get more code done i will be trying to work with pragma to develop some new triggers in puarcade, making it not have to be a hack to do the randomly announce games

I have an idea for the new shoutbox. Option for updating a twitter account whenever someone shouts! You can use the twitter API and make the setup in the backend. I've been hacking my forum and other components to tweet certain things.

OR, if you could make an rss feed then I could use one of the many twitter services to check it and post a shout to the twitter account.

I'd like to see it integrated in the shoutbox or perhaps have it so that it's a checkbox on the main shoutbox gui, so people could decide if they wanted to tweet to your account or not, and of course, guests should never be able to tweet.

Or maybe even an option to tweet new high scores with a link to the game.
