If you research a bit you will find out that a shoutbox is always the main security risc in a forum.
So maybe you should think twice about the Chat room before its to late

So a clear vote for /no from me. You should use jabber or oldschool mirc.
In what ways is it a security risk? A risk to the members or the site itself? I've never heard of chats having security problems before. Come to think of it... I mostly only used mIRC
To the members becouse they could get your passwords.
Thats also the reason why you should always use different passwords. ( if a hacker has one password+mail , he would also have your paypal, ebay, wow passwords )
but I didn't want to panic. Just wanted the mods to check that shoutbox carefully about security riscs.
