We've been working with ShoutOK from the beginning.  We've been in contact with them numerous times and offered ideas, suggestions, pleas, and complaints.  But it doesn't appear that we are going to get anything done this way.

I like what ShoutOK has.  I like the Forum/Blog/UserPage/Chat Format that ShoutOK offers, but the code is unreliable, the chat is unmoderated, the forums are busted all up.  The concept is there, but the implementation isn't.

So, the Loudmouths are venturing out on their own.  We are going to attempt to establish our own website that will initially serve Forums, Blogs, Chat, and News feeds.  We are still trying to figure out about whether to host personal user pages or if we should try to work with another site like myspace or something.

We will need help if anyone out there is familiar with web development and tech such as Java, ASP, PHP, CSS, IRC, BB Systems, etc.  This is strictly a volunteer deal.

On our forums, I've made a post detailing my ideas for the site.  Feel free to drop by and offer your feedback on the concept.

The Loudmouths got together as a group and went to the Oklahoma City Glenn Beck show and had an opportunity to meet and welcome Glenn to Oklahoma City.
