if the shoutbox hasn't been working for you over the last day or so, you're probably effected by a bug i caused over the weekend.
i'm working on a fix now.. should be resolved by this evening.
werd to my homies in the trenches!
Update:
just wanted to give an update. i'm still trying to fix the weird problem that causes the shoutbox to break for some people. the problem isn't on your end if your shoutbox is busted, it's on ours. hold tight for a bit longer and i should have it worked out.
Update #2:
i think the shoutbox is fixed. let me know if it's still busted for you... viva la resistance!
