If It were a decade ago, I'd agree with this suggestion.
It's probably been 5+ years since we've had a shoutbox or chat.
Understandably, the newer members won't know of when we actually had the live chat. From experience, I can honestly say it wasn't that good. While Discord isn't the most ideal solution, it's the only one our members have consistently used. We've tried IM services on the site, we've tried IRCs (MANY TIMES) and have had little success with them.

I don't think we should need a chat system inside the forum.
If you want to chat (with the users of the forum) use the Discord chat.

shout-out box depend on interaction we are thinking like that as we normally reply to other post after 1 hour - 2 hour...but we will change from time to time ..as much more members will interact..without testing we cannot say anything until we try it may be our thinking is wrong..

Please re-read our previous comments. We did indeed have live-chat option in the past. They are no longer here for a reason. The reason we say no is, because we have tried it, and it didn't work out. The reality is, people come here because it's a forum, not because it has live chat features. If you want live chat, that's what the discord is for. We have tried other live chat services in the past, but the only thing people consistently used, was Discord. If people are taking 3 hours to reply to a post, they would have taken 3 hours to reply to your live chat message. If you tag someone, or send a reply in their thread, they get an instant notification, the same as you would with a live chat. Therefore, I do not see any reason to try it again, for yet another attempt.
Tl;dr - This was tried in the past, and didn't work out.

To be fair, if a lot of members come forward asking for another service, we are likely to consider it. We will usually look at what members want. However, it's got to be several members, not just the few, unfortunately.
We aren't fans of Discord ourselves. In fact, we're pretty pissed off with the company, but our members use it a lot. That is really the only reason we still use Discord. I can't blame you for not liking it. As with any suggestion, if enough members support it, then we are more likely to look into whether or not it can be implemented.
