A Suggestions :D

Maybe some how add a chat room feature? I've seen forums that allow for users to hang around in a chat room while browsing the forum.

I think that would be pretty cool.

Its not that hard, I know exactly what your talking about.

I do agree that a chatbox at the top or bottom of the forums would be nice, but it could possibly slow the site down a bit all depends on how much space we use atm.

EDIT: If we do get one I suggest making it so that only members that have been a part of forums for x amount of days can use it otherwise its another place for those pesty spam bots to hit up.

I agree. Limiting to users who have been here for x amount of days or users who have x amount of posts.

The mods and site admin have address it in those threads.

Well I read over those topics and I agree with what beardie said in them.

BUT!

Some forum providers like "Enjin" have it so when you create your forums account its almost like a facebook page, and then there are the forums aswell. It has "status" updates you would add friends on the forum to see what they are saying like facebook again. I'm not sure phBB provides a feature like that, but I think something along those lines would work better for a "chat" on these forums.
