Shout box not being attached to articles was good in that there was always continuity. The idea of having separate boxes for each is sound but hasn't yet worked properly. It doesn't even consistently load the right shout box for the post you load. And there's always comments that don't belong. Some of those might be explained that a different Klat site loaded the wrong shout chat. But they often seem to have a superficial relationship to sports. Every time someone talks about a sports bra, tennis bracelet, sporty car or whether/ how much they played or watched sports as a child (that one's particularly common) in any Klat shout it's either copied or redirected to an SSI shout box.

Negan has a penchant for provocation and power games. The stronger the resistance to his will, the more he seems to enjoy the test of wills. He has a genuine disgust for the act of rape. Total psycho with a capital 'p
Yup, they said baseball so it must be pertinent to our chat. Hardly anyone here uses shouts anymore because of all these problems.
