To prevent inappropriate text, public surface GUIs don't allow text boxes.

Put the GUI in StarterGui, and set its adornee to the brick.

You will need to make the transition to local scripts, however.

Ugh, is there no easy way to do this. i.e taking keyboard input and adding it to the textbox?

Taking keyboard input and adding it to the textbox is easy.
But it would be easier to just make the GUI local.

AND if you want ALL players to see it, make a syncronization system to update it for all other local GUIs in other players. This would be more complicated and buggy than just taking keyboard input.

But if you don't need everyone to see the same thing, make the GUI local. It is much easier.
