Hello dungsport,With ShoutMix you can setup an archive script with PHP (script provided) and this is intergrated with ShoutMix. Once it is setup properly, each post made to the shoutbox will also be sent to the archive script and that way the owner can keep a copy of all the shouts, given that the owner has his own webspace with PHP support.Initially ShoutMix also started as a shoutbox that doesn't use IFRAME, it is supposed to be XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. There is an option that uses the shoutbox as inline element (h3, p, span, etc.). However, the IFRAME method is there since majority of bloggers wanted that.I must say it is best to get a system on your own server that embeds to your page but making a shoutbox might not be an easy task for everyone especially those who just make static HTML pages or bloggers who don't own their own server space.Free hosted service is still a good solution for some of the people out there.Good luck too, to everyone.

Hello, This is Snecx from ShoutMix. Thanks to Overture for the information. Yes ShoutMix was previously slow because it was on a shared server and the user base grew very large, larger than expected. Until a point where it is too large for the small server, I have no choice but to go for a better server. It is expensive and I had to switch the site to provide free & paid service to keep the existing users and also to support the site in the coming days. The site is now on a dedicated server as said by Overture and it is definitely much faster and more reliable. It is running fine since the move and it'll be able to support approximately 20x of the amount of users now (which is quite a number to achieve!). I'm always available to provide support for my users. I hope this post will clear some confusion about the reliability of ShoutMix.
