Forum + shoutbox and it should be ok... Too lazy to swith to home every time i wanna shout...
I've tried but it won't work... 
Go to Admin, Simpleportal,block,block list, Move the shoutbox up if not already done, put it above something not as important like 'whos online'. Modify it, And find the option 'Show block on....' and either put forums or 'everywhere'
