    Not sure what the point would be really... all a chat room does is take away from content that would have been posted on your site (people just chatting instead of posting their questions). It also is harder to manage spam in a live chat vs. a forum.

    To be honest, I can't really think of *any* upside at all (even a small one).

    Chat boxes just take away from activity and make it extremely easy for users to spam their links. It's not a good idea.
