Jack Daniels; a wonderful rage fuel.
I'm still for bringing it back, just... keep a tighter leash on it. Whilst some of the CBox shit can be funny (I still find the Maverick incident fucking hilarious), Asmo's right; people don't want to be logging in just to see that sorta shit EVERY FUCKING DAY.
I like the idea of it as a means to support the RPs going on as well as a means to chat with fellow Iwaku members. It's an excellent place to get advice from a game's GM, or for help writing up a character sheet you're confused by. I mean seriously, guys, let's get some fucking Chat-RPs going; that's an opportunity and a half going to waste right there.
What you need is tighter control over the CBox; perhaps a CBox Moderator? Someone who's online frequently and in the CBox a lot who the staff can trust (read; NOT ME. I don't want that kinda job) and so can step in to settle arguments before they get out of hand. 'Cos seriously, no-one wants to log in every single day only to see that sort of shit.
Also, tighten up the rules. At the moment, they seem to be relying on people being good-natured and sensible, and that's not working 'cos we're, y'know, people. You could consider creating new rooms in the CBox (provided it doesn't strain the server too much) where more mature or violent things could be discussed, or even just have a room for spamming sheer bullshit. Condense Insanity into chat-form, or something.
Those are just my thoughts. I wouldn't get rid of the CBox entirely, though; if done right, it's an extremely valuable tool for the board to have.
