PS: FAQ's about ShoutBox!
Follow these steps to reach Shoutbox:
1) Go to PaGaLGuY.com - The Everything of MBA
2) Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
3) Just above the "Currently Active Users" List, you'll see the Shoutbox (SB)

How to get the *red font statements* in Shoutbox:
1) Shout this -> /me is on PaGaLGuY.com
2) It displays as -> *Mahip is on PaGaLGuY.com*
Basically, every sentence starting with "/me" is formatted that way!

How to make SB Bigger:
1. Go to the address bar, where you see this: PaGaLGuY.com - The Everything of MBA
2. Paste this in the address bar:
javascript:void(document.getElementById('vbshout') .style.height='300px');
3. Click enter
4. And yah! SB is now big!

P.S. - Why only CAT 2006 and other exams? We have CAT 2005 / 2004 guys still active .
