I remember around 2013-2014 when I was a lurker back on the old wikia days I would spend my whole day looking at the shoutbox and watching the conversations going on. I was always too shy to say anything because I thought that I wouldn't have anything to talk about. In the summer of 2016 I finally made the big step and joined the forums and main website, but I still didn't use the shoutbox. It wasn't until early 2017 when I decided to finally talk, but the shoutbox became inactive since the Discord server launched. So I said my first words on the Discord.
I'll always remember the shoutbox for letting me see what the community was up to when I was a lurker.
Good times. Good times
Rest in peace, ShoutMix. Gone, but never forgotten.

I just want to inform people who don't know about this yet. Over on the Discord server we found out that ShoutMix (the service that runs the shoutbox for the website) will be ending all operations on May 31, 2017. While the shoutbox is still active I advise users who exclusively use the shoutbox to please move to the official Lost Media Wiki Discord server. The invitation link to join the official Discord server can be found at forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/892/new-official-lmw-discord-server.
It's sad how common something like this is. We get a lot of bad eggs who harass crew members or creators. Just reminder, these are real people with feelings. Sending death threats or any harassment their way is wrong, especially while ASSOCIATED LMW. We do not want anything to do with someone who has the audacity to do any sort of harassment to a creator or crew member.
You're absolutely right. Stuff like this should be taken very seriously. Not only does it hurt the Lost Media Wiki it also hurts the lost media community as a whole.
