New users...with opinions
A chat would reduce deviation from the actual forum. There would be less stray if everything could be done "in-house". Kink seems to be "farming out" much of its client base to live action. Even useless free members are worth money though...keep them at home. I'm digging this forum so far, I may even pay (or donate) for an active chat.
That does cost 24 hour moderation, so would have to be remedied by a fee of some sort. Weigh it out, are you sure you want active chat? Business mind say know, but my loins say "oh yeah".
