For roughly two months since the change was implemented, I've decided to keep quiet about the change until now just to see if I can make the adjustment. I am not saying that the chatbox is a bad chatroom per se, but as an avid user of both the shout and chat box, I (and most people) find the chat box a little frustrating.
What I mean by frustrating is being logged out whenever you don't type something, the chatbox not refreshing at times, the absence of an alert sound when someone messages and the mobile for this is... really bad compared to the shoutbox. For these reasons, I find that constant users of the shoutbox never come on anymore due to the inconveniences that the chatbox gives.
I've also talked to many people on the chatbox and through private messaging that they do not like the chatbox for the reasons listed above. Overall, it is just the matter of convenience that I miss that the shoutbox had that the chatbox does not.
Even though the chatbox was meant for new members to log on without the use of an admin, I still find the same people still log on. For the past two months, I would say less than a dozen new members have shown their faces.
I know that mc~ has stated his reasons for implementing the change, which I totally respect, but is there a possibility for a switchback?

it's ideal to limit gifs, images and any other links to avoid spamming, and since new members can't go to Shout Box, they tend to use Chat Box to trashtalk people there (I'm not saying it always happen, but spamming is one of it). And like the one mentioned above, and since I'm a mobile user, I find Shout Box more user friendly than Chat Box, which is supposed to happen also in Chat Box to earn more users there, as we can see, there's not more than a dozen ever log there at the same time, but there's so much post there especially the gifs and images that made the Chat Box messy... It should be less if there'sca control in sending one. 
It seem it just died some mins ago now xD (and it scared me at first i was typing and suddenly boom dead D:)
