Would it be possible to incorporate a chatroom? Right now the only means of talking to other members is on threads, which of course is nice and the main purpose of a forum. But if there were chatrooms it would allow members to talk more casually.
On that note (or maybe I just haven't figured out how in which case I apologize), if we could private message other users that would also provide an additional opportunity for members to get to know each other better.
I love the comfy vibe of the site, so I'm not complaining. But there are only a handful of threads I'm interested in responding to, and if one or both of those features were implemented I feel like I could get to know other users better.
