Line 2: Like a simple chat room, or a forum reduced to a single thread. Commonly placed on the main page of a website. Many [[Web Comics]] don't have a large enough community to support a full-size, separate message board. A [['''Shout Box]]''' is one way to provide easy, highly-visible interactivity. See also [[The Rant]]. Line 11: * ''[[Dream Catcher]]'' uses one. * Users of [[Deviant ART]] who subscribe have the option to put a shoutbox with any journal they post. * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130120203751/http://www.graphicsmash.com/comics/brathalla.php Brat-halla]'' has embedded a single, blog-powered comment thread for a similar effect. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20130902103844/http://www.myshoutbox.com/ MYSHOUTBOX] (seriously, they put it in all caps like that) is used by ''[http://www.juathuur.spiderforest.com/ Juathuur]''. * Tom Siddell of ''[[~~Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)\|~~Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' used the home-encoded comment thread for [[Painting the Fourth Wall]] during the interim comic ''City Face'': instead of displaying [[Real Life]] reader comments, it displayed comments from the [[Animated Actors]] and other in-universe characters reading the [[Show Within a Show\|comic within the comic]]. They're archived [http://gunnerkrigg.wikia.com/wiki/City_Face_comments here]. * [[Bear And Kitten]] had a very avid fanbase that actively posted in their shoutbox. Oddly enough, even though the webcomic hasn't update in almost a year now, the fans still post in the shoutbox because they actually became a close knit group of friends. Seemingly forgetting that they even came to the website for the comic. ** Currently the site is down, but the shoutbox is still accessible via internet archive.
