chat box?

[Matthew Thomas]

Other forums I visit have a chat box. Gives people a chance to socialize openly, rather than discuss a single topic. It works best at the top of the home page.

Thanks for the suggestion, we have considered this but decided against it as it uses a lot of server resources and it opens the door for spammers.

What about an IRC channel?
