That was an idea someone brought up before and something the staff had discussed. But the conclusion was that a chatroom and a messageboard pretty much contradict each other. And we do not want to take away from the messageboards either. It acts as good references for people.
Perhaps if there's a lot of interest in this again later on, but it's something that we'll leave out for the moment.
Thanks for the ideas, and if you have any more, keep 'em coming
