Part of the problem is that it that most hosts do not allow you to run or have anything to do with irc....
So if we were to have one it could not be integrated in any way with the site or servers.
IRC is nice and all, I regular several channels on EFNet, but a shoutbox would be really simple to integrate on the site
Considering the size of this community, a shout box would eat a LOT of bandwidth.
