its not likely...
there are already several shoutbox plugins that work just fine with wordpress... why would we want to or need to duplicate those efforts?
perhaps if you can detail some of the perceived benefits to having it bundled or directly integrated with SPF, that thinking could be rethought...

I really would like to integrate a shoutbox or tagboard into the forum somehow. I had this feature on my previous forum and it was very popular with users.
Is it possible to add some 3rd party shoutbox plug in to my Simple forum somehow? Anyone have any suggestions for me? Im not a savvy coder.
there are several shoutbox plugins available for WP. Grab one of those. no need for it to be part of the forum. check out pierre's wordspew shoutbox plugin.

I installed Pierre's Wordspew Shoutbox and it works well except that it is in the sidebar. Being in the sidebar it appears on every page of the blog and not just in the forum.
Instead of the sidebar, is it possible to edit the forum's custom php page or header php and put the shoutbox widget in there going horizontally across the top?
I found the following code on this wordspew faq. Perhaps it is just a matter of cut and pasting it into the forum.php…?
http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....dspew/faq/
/*
Template Name: ShoutBox
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="widecolumn">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></problem-with-post-edit-button2>
<div class="entrytext">
<?php the_content('Read more…'); ?>
</div>
<div>
<?php jal_get_shoutbox(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link('<small>Edit</small>'); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
just add
whereever you want it on the forum pages… or in your sidebar, add check
and it will only show up on forum pages.
