I think it would be cool to have a chat room on there forum that all non hidden online users with accounts would be automatically in. People could chat and send a message to all the online users. If someone didn't want to get constant notification from the chat, they would have an option to turn it off for their session, or an option to turn it off permanently(or atleast until they turned it back on) in their settings. I feel like this addition will get this community more connected and it will be easier for new members to make friends.
