is there an easy to use shout box that doesnt need MySQL? please help, im trying to use it for my clan site...
Shout Boxes, NO MySQL PLEASE
I cant seem to find a working script out there which you can just download and upload. There are however sevral tutorials out there explaining and providing code how to create one yourself.

yes, but that one costs money, or some add thing or something.
i might TRY to do a tutorial one...
but im noob, and i know ill mess up...
if someone else would make one, and tell me how to put it into my site, i would pay some Frih$
your site's at freewebs? i don't think that you can use those kind of stuff there. they don't offer any scripts (except for Javascript) there.
If I were you, I'd maka a shoutmix shoutbox. You just add the code on your site.
www.shoutmix.com <--- that's the site's URL. make an account and use it.

I have made my own shoutbox. You can download it in http://www.samisaada.frihost.net/downloads.php. Also newest version is on my sidebar, but it is not always stable. I only let stable version to download. I will soon finish version 1.2 and Admin Tool version 1.0. Versions 1.0 and 1.1 have no admin tool.
Why don't you want to use MySQL ? If it is because you don't know it, then I guess you'd better learn it seriously, even if you lose some time to learn it.
Check http://www.hotscripts.com there you will find one i promisse you !
IMHO, It's really easy:
Have a flat text file "shout.txt" with chmod 666
And a form which submits a name and a message to a script say
shout.php
the showt.php will be this way:
the form will contain:
1) a textarea to show the content of the file
2) an input to contain the name
3) a textarea to contain the submitted message.
4) of course a button to submit it.
That's grosso modo a way to do it.
The script is not optimized (for educational purpose), it's up to you
to write the rest
Hope this helps
P.S. martindecorte is right: if you're "afraid" of mysql, believe me,
it's better to start! It's really worth it! Don't worry about backups, data
transfers, SQL querries, data integrity and other questions, all your worries have been studied before. You can trust million other folks
P.P.S. That would be NICE if everybody brings his contribution to this modest script, so that it will be as usable us possible.
