I don't know. I have never used Inferno Shoutbox or any other for that matter. All this shoutbox does is perform a mysql query every 2 seconds (or however long you set it to in the javascript file). Honestly, this is nothing. People use way more queries than this just browsing forums. If you're worried about server load then please edit "2000" to a higher number, such as "5000" for 5 seconds.

Also, the shouts are only redrawn if a new shout is made while you're viewing the shoutbox, therefore this version significantly reduces bandwith consumption.

I want to throw a conditional around your chatbox to only show up in certain forums that only mods, s.mod, and admins have access to, but I need to know if its safe to install this if inferno shout lite is installed

Yes it should be fine. All the plugin variables are prefixed with "ddsb_".

Update on version 2.2:

The changes for 2.2 will be minor. They will involve the BBcode buttons and perhaps a smilies dropdown list of some kind. I also might add the ability to give power to people in groups that you specify.
