Invision just released 2.2.2 w/components, may want to upgrade. IPSpeak/shoutbox...I've never liked shoutboxes. They take up too much room and are a haven for spam, and serve no real purpose. I wouldn't worry about a custom skin for the forums until a design is finalized for sscentral.com. Once that's done, you can incorporate the main site's design into the skin. About the ISG, I'd be willing to take over maintence to accomadate all zones who would like their sites advertised in it. I feel that like the banner exchange, the ISG should also be used to spread the word about lesser known zones. Just because a zone isn't linked to the ssc biller doesn't mean it should be ignored.
