i don't know where, maybe built into s-m or someone else could host it or whatever really. just thought it might be a nice feature. (you can tell i'm a rather impatient person - chat rooms are much, much quicker than forums :p)
You could just make an mIRC channel.

yeah either or. personally i like html-ish chatrooms (even though they're all irc based) because they look better lol ...

It's been discussed before and it mostly boils down to the fact that it can't be monitered, bad stuff might be said and short-medias owners get's in trouble. That's about it i think. Other than that it would be nice i think though i don't chat much.

We have had some bad things/people come from mIRC. They bring arguments into the forums and all hell breaks loose. Nothing like a chat room will be sponcered by SM.

oh, that's too bad. even like, maybe an msn group chatroom so that you'd have to be looking for it in order to find it?? that would filter the riffraff

Trust me when I say the "riffraff" as you call it, would be looking and they would find it. Its at that point the problems start.

Would not an invite only chat room work?

yeah i suppose you're right...however there is a feature on msn groups were the admins can select to review the applications to join the group...which would work but would also be a lot of added work for you guys. oh well, thanks for the feedback

Not if you had ninja robots ready to Kb any trouble makers!
Yeah, I see what you are saying, although I dont know who 'they' are, but you can never secure a room, only hope to remove a bad element asap.

I dont think the admins want to bother moderating a chat room and a forum together. There are mIRC channels already somewhat established if you want to talk to someone. But nothing is going to be official from SM.

I'd moderate, thus relieving the duty from them. :)

IMHO it'll probably be dead after the initial hype.
