I would love to see a shoutbox update, something like disqus or anything that's a real-time chat feed.

Good idea. It looks like Guildlaunch has one. It's probably just a reskin of the Shoutbox, but it's not bad when placed in the middle column.
There's a way to insert 3rd party ones, but it would be a double login whereas a native one already uses the Guildlaunch credentials.
We could use one of these for downy mcdowntime days like today!

Here are some of the ideas on a test site...
http://goldenblade.guildlaunch.com/index.php?gid=340862
Left
- countdown that can be used to promote events
- DCUO twitter feed (this was a little hacky but doable)
Middle
- DCUO Announcements - standard RSS feed that has the same info as the game launcher
- Chat Box - for realtime chats when the game is down! It doesn't retain anything like the shoutbox does though

The Chat & Countdown are named accordingly. The 2 news feeds are the same widget... called "RSS Feed," but use different addresses:
For the DCUO Announcements, use this address...
https://forums.station.sony.com/dcuo/index.php?forums/announcements.10/index.rss
The Twitter one runs through a 3rd party service because Twitter discontinued their official feed...
http://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=dcuo
I can always help with web stuff if needed. It's what I do outside of DCUO.

It doesn't look like we can customize too much or load 3rd party widgets. There's just a menu of premade ones available. Guildlaunch tech is pretty old, but I don't think they want to worry about security risks.

Some of you may notice that you're members of goldenblade.guildlaunch.com. There's an admin control that lets me convert visitors into members. I'll be using the site to test things out before they go to the real JG site and I think you need to be a member to see everything.
Recent Changes:
- picked a plainer template that matches the dimensions of JG's site
- featured image scales properly for lower resolutions

The new widgets have been up for a while now. I think some work better than others. Here’s my take on them so far...
Announcements Feed (pass)
This works well where it is. Even though it's prominent on the DCUO forums and our launcher, it's also good to have here. Many of us tend to go to the shoutbox whenever there's a server issue. Now the announcements are adjacent to it.
New @ DCUO Forums (meh)
This one is OK... it's only as good as the latest content. Sometimes it can display good threads... other times trolling threads. If a better widget comes along, I'd ditch this to make room.
Countdown (pass)
It’s the only moving object on the page other than the advertisements.
Chat (fail)
It doesn’t seem to consistently detect who’s on and certainly doesn’t match the “Who’s Online” detection. This doesn’t work mostly because of placement and it also clears on each page load. It probably needs to be on a single page of its own instead of all forum pages. We’d have to ditch one of the other links for a fullpage chat though. Are “Database” & “Gallery” being used at all? “Database” looks like it was never used. “Gallery” is old and it looks like uploads count against the site’s capacity.

Now that I have a Twitter account, I was able to test one more Guildlaunch widget! The site itself can be tied to one Twitter account for an unhacked widget. Here's my account on the test site...
http://goldenblade.guildlaunch.com/sections/chat/?gid=340862 (bottom of page)
We have control over the height, but not the width. The widget itself needs to be a center item as it's too large for either of the sides. It loads a little bit to slow for my liking actually. It's not something we should put on multiple pages, but should be OK on a single page like the fullpage chat I have it on.
