Yeah, pretty much.
Database stores username, comment, time stamp in one table.
font and colour in another then ip in another.
This is then written onto the image, depending on the font in the db for that comment the font for that comment changes on the image, as with the colour.
Make an anti-flood/spam feature. Like, if their IP made the last XX posts, they have to wait to post again. Make it an option for the owner of the shoutbox to enable/disable or somethin.
I can't think of anything else though, you pretty much already have my ideas already.

At the moment I've got it as: if their IP posted in the last 60 seconds they have to wait another 60 seconds to post again. Even if they posted 59 seconds ago and try again, they then have to wait another 60 seconds. Is that similar to what you meant?
Or do you mean something like YouTube use? You can make about 2 posts (youtube give about 6) and then after that you have to wait a while to be able to post again?
