I know it appears like a cool feature, but in my opinion it takes away from the forum itself. I think since your site is such a young site I think instead of chatting, people need to be posting topics which will create more traffic and let other members interact more (bc the post will be up forever). If the site was a local, established club, a chat box could work because everyone knows e/o and lives close. Even so, like I said, it takes away from posting topics. I've seen it destroy at least one forum already. I've always steered clear of that on my site and we have a steady flow of topics coming each day. Just a thought.
