What is your suggestion?:
The option to close or minimize the welcome notice
The option to extend the timer until inactive
First of all, the welcome window is massive. Taking up almost half of the shoutbox 
Combined with the eye catching colours this gives a click-bait impression
Vroom vroom 
The window itself could still serve its purpose with a smaller size
(It's not the size that matters ...)
Eliminating the spaces between the sentences would do the trick
After visiting the forums more than 3 times, the box becomes tedious.
Something inside me wants to dismiss it
I suggest adding a minimize 
or close 
button.
something like this:
Or add a toggle function, like the one the shoutbox has when hovered
"Toggle welcome message"
Another good option would be utilizing the "My prefs" options
This opens the preference panel where you could add an option
example: "Display Welcome message Yes [x] [ ] No"
That way, players who utilize the box can opt to keep it
While we're on the topic, it'd be nice with the option to extend the timer before the remaining half is claimed by this window:
Even if only 15 minutes, it would be an improvement
example: "Set AFK timer to minutes: 5 [ x ] 10 [ ] 15 [ ]"
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
No
How would this benefit Alora?:
The Shoutbox is among the first impressions upon entering the forums of Alora
First impressions are super important - especially for an RSPS
If it looks silly, it could potentially scare players away
Since the forums recently got a make-over, I believe the Shoutbox deserves some attention too.
Although not seeing much action, it is a great alternative to the Alora discord
