Thanks for your suggestion!

I've been looking into getting a chat over here, and there are some good free chats (such as Ajax Chat, as cheesey has pointed out) - and we will hopefully be getting one at somepoint. The only problem I foresee is it has to be HTML, and be able to just have code copied/pasted in one location. I can't upload files to the site as our host doesn't allow FTP access unless we upgrade to prohosting, which at $10/month I can't cover on my own. (The benefit to their prohosting plan over traditional plan is they take care of everything tech-wise, while still giving C-Panel Access - which is very very good.)

So it is indeed possibly, and I feel the same as you in that it could drive people joining the site, and encourage more activity.

I'll update this thread as I get more information to the possibility of a chatbox. Thanks for your suggestion!
