Default Shoutbox - Top or bottom?

I moved the Shoutbox to the top of the forum homepage at the suggestion of a member...

I'm still conflicted as to whether this is a good idea, so I'd like some thoughts on it...

I voted top. I forget that it is there when it is on the bottom.

I don't like it on the top.

It blocks out the veiw of all of the forums.

Not good for visitors IMO.

I voted "Top"..when it's at the bottom, far too many people don't see or use this valuable feature! Why not leave it at the top and see if people use it more often..

Remember,you can always temporarily close the Shoutbox by clicking the button on the right of the box. When you close the Shoutbox the forums pop into view..

HATE IT!!! Sorry but it is not the first view you want people to have when they come here.

Just my humble opinion.
