I suggest "Shout Box per Forum" feature.
Each forum is attached a "Shout Box". (or an option , that some forum can have their shout boxes , and other forums share the global shout box)
Some users are familiar with each other only in some forum. They are "friends" in one forum , but when they enter another forum , they feel un-comfortable , unfamiliar.
If each board is attached a shout box (of course , it must take forum authorization into consideration), they can stay in their forum and discuss forum-specific issues online.
Currently , the Shout Box is global , it can be preserved , used for portal pages , or forums without specific shout box.
English is not my native language. I try my best to express my thought precisely. I hope you understand what I mean. If any misunderstanding results from culture gaps, I apologize first.

'eh sure if all of your forums are popular; otherwise it'll be a waste of space in the db

sure - but like most things - it doesn't have to be compulsory

The shouts in ubbt_SHOUT_BOX table are purged by ubbthreads , isn't it ? So , if I have 50 forums , and each shout box size is 20 , it only occupies 1000 rows in DB. Furthermore , not all forums need a specific forum , some forums may share global shout box.
