there is a security issue with this shoutbox. People can post shouts logged in or not.
One of the admins on my site, Sauron, found this:

HTML Code:

<html><title>Shoutbox Flaw</title>
<!-- This little flaw allows anyone to post information to the shoutbox -->
<!-- from anywhere on the Web, whether they are registered users or not -->
<!-- [Sauron] -->
<body>
<!-- The markup is copied directly from vBulletin -->
<p>Enter what you want to send to the shoutbox:</p>
<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/shoutbox.php" method="post" name="vbform">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="doaddnew" />
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr><td width="70%" align="left">
<input type="text" name="message" value="" class="bginput" style="width:80%;" />
<input type="submit" value="Shout" class="button" />
</td>
</form>
</body></html>

put that in an html page and you can shout. make sure you change the url on it.
