How about a WS chat room? Where we can BS in real time? I know a lot of other forums have something like that.

Yea why not? We seem to be on at the same time on a regular basis and I'm sure we could alleviate some thread congestion with a little chatroom.

There are a few reasons why its not a great idea.

1. It'd be impossible to moderate being all real time, some neerdowell could really abuse it.

2. Being real time, it could potentially suck down quite a bit of bandwidth making the site slower.

I can understand the bandwidth issue as being a viable problem, a slow forum is really terrible. However a moderated chat room, not so much, I'm on, or have been on various forums, from Jeeps, to military forums and they have chat rooms with no moderation. If one member gets out of hand everyone just ignores him or leaves, and by in large few people ever do. There are of course the trolls, but rare in my experience.
