live chats are far to hard to moniter, you get one trouble maker on for even 2 minutes and you get all kinds of cusses inappropriate behaviour and things that have no place in a family oriented forum. there are peole out there who take delight in nothing but going to chat sites to cause hate and discontent, MSG boards are often too slow for them so a lot of them get filtered out as the want instant angst. I think a live chat would be more trouble than its worth even though it would be fun to have live rounds of open chat.
