- PirateFSM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13So that was you...
- Bara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Actually, I think it blends in TOO much into the rest of the design for that site. Doesn't really make it stand out. Heck, you can't even tell it's a shoutbox until you see the Nickname and Message Text boxes at the bottom. So to answer your question, yes, it does blend. It blends very well.
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hey, I've been thinking of building little scripts like this, so this is interesting. Is there anybody else out there who'd like to buy little scripts via donationware like this?
- dasluvaluva, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Actually, he's been working on this sucker on & off for several months. Just before summer, he was on v2.x. Then he released v3.0 in the fall.
And I doubt hosting is $1.50 a month, either.
There's other shoutboxes you can grab for free. If you want to support a young developer, then feel free to. If it takes you 2 hours to do the same thing, then go do it.
Eitherway, we all know very *FEW* people ever donate for freeware/charityware apps. - jonnypage, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Totally Correct, If you REQUIRE a donation, it stops being a donation.. Covering bandwidth on a >100k web app is a lame excuse anyway..
Still, very cool :) - bugninja, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8"In order to download YShout, I require a donation to cover the hosting expenses and the time spent in development."
**** require a donation ***** ??!??!!
This would be called a payment for a product and NOT a donation.
So he needs enough money to cover his $1.50 per month hosting with 1and1.com and the 2 hours it took to create the little script? Give me a break.
Donations are voluntary. This would be donationware if you offered the program for free but accepted donations to further the development of the project.
This is a COMMERCIAL PROGRAM in a crappy disguise!!! - bushawa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But the idea here is that he would like some support to keep building stuff. I do not think he is asking too much from us.
- sonu27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Come on, where are the pirates.
I'm waiting. - dasluvaluva, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's why you modify the CSS on your own :) If you can't modify your own CSS, perhaps installing a PHP/Shoutbox isn't right for you ;)
- spikedblade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4If your going to donate, don't do it right now, download is dead. http://yurivish.com/ys4/download.html Anyone have a mirror?
- sonu27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah your right.
Donationware is where donations are optional, but recommended. - buzzert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This ISN'T donationware, why doesn't he just call it shareware.
- ylikone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I am on firefox/linux and it works fine for me.
- Tuzoid, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I bought this sofware (donation-ware) and I absolutely love it!
Great job on it yurivish! - logicalaxiom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Great Job Yuri!
- mumbler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Says you. Others (me) disagree--I think someone somewhere has a "need" for an intermediate between live chat and a message board or forum. Why not?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2meebo me lacks a lot of features.
- Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Meebo me allows the visitors to talk to the admin, but it is not like a chatroom.
- csj89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2how can anyone without paypal get it? anyway, doesn't paying for the thing before getting it beat the purpose of "donation-ware"?
- snyff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I think I might buy this also. It's a great way to yell "*****!" anonymously.
- starfisch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1meebo me does the same thing for free?
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Poor live demo...
- inkninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Performance is great! Unfortunately, the example shout chat gave me a headache. It's fine for low volume chat but for large crowds it will need some level of non-admin filtering controls.
- bushawa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would be willing to pay $5-$10 bucks for this and other scripts like it.
It is hard to find good scripts with decent manuals.
A note though: I do not think the flood control is working in the demo.
Also, do you have any other projects or future projects? - dasluvaluva, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This kid is amazing!
- val8ntin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Kudos to the author for all his hard-work, but I don't really see the need for something like this. I have yet to see an implementation where 90% of the "shouts" are not spam. Theres no need for an intermediate level between live-chat and a message-board / traditional comment system.
- mousy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Agreed.
There should be some overflow on this thing, its height depends on the size of the messages, and thats pretty poor. - phprock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1how is meebo me? I haven't tried it yet.
- spikedblade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1From the Download page: "proved problematic - people spread the link"
Well I would still like my copy of the script and get my pennies worth I donated to him. Actually I don't care about the penny but he still has the donation link up when the download page hasn't worked for hours and now anyone not aware of the problem will be giving him money and will get nothing to show for it. - sonu27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can someone who has got version 4. Please upload it? Thanks.
- hozster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1where can i download at least version 3?
- d0odx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol peeps are trying to xss it already
- PSyMastR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so... any word on yshout's availability?
- spikedblade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Download seems to be dead for me at http://yurivish.com/ys4/download.html Anyone have a mirror?
- PunkHop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Somebody wanna make this into a Wordpress widget? I'll, um, buy you lunch or something.
- abhidut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well, idint like it...so much donation...so stuff. I rather go for cbox. It's much better. But seems like iit has got a nice look.
- 0KonTroL0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, I just installed this on a client's site, seems gr8 to me. what a coy-inky-dink.
- 0KonTroL0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why do you people criticize before looking at the admin features - IT IS CUSTOMIZABLE, IMAGE THAT!1!!~!
- chance2002iu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1abuse prone. and I agree with inkninja, the example was a headache and filtering is definately needed.
- ATH500, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, can somebody give us a link to download YShout version 4 ?
Thank you. - nvleafs, on 02/28/2008, -0/+0wow, whoever hosts this site is a retard, asking for donations when he doesn't even know how to protect his site:
http://yurivish.com/yshout.zip
there is the download, enjoy - rubbisher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just bought it and can only say it is absolutely worth every dime you'll donate. Great script with absolutely no problems installing or configuring it. Love it!
alain34: Not even nearly similar to the one you linked.
buzzert: you are right - but since I can define the amount, I'll live with the naming ;) - weikiat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I made a mod of yshout that allows users to create new chatrooms on the fly.
Try it!
http://www.weikiat.net/ys/index.php?id=6&roomname=digg - mnjaga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Right now yShout is not down loadable. Is this digg effect?
- alain34, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1Well, it is like many chat / shoutcast.
I can not see what is so special about it.
Look at this url, it is more or less the same and it is freeware....

- matthall28, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I dont have a PayPal account and don't have any way to get money into one...
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+152kb? it could totally be smaller, I think
- varkey, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1For those who want it freeee!!!
http://yurivish.com/ys4/yshout42.zip - irekevin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I have a need for it. Low traffic site for my hobby and friends.
