Reform the Forum! Could it be better?

We as users could setup our own chat room.
Internet relay chat is great for such a thing. But I wonder if that would in turn affect the traffic on the forums. Things a so perfect, why screw with them.
And another issue with creating a chat room would be we the users cant simply direct people that way. I suppose with a little creative thinking and spamming we could build up a chat room full of AH users.
I do like the idea. Would be a little more personable, anyone else have any thoughts on the idea.

I agree to that thought. I was even thinking bringing up our membership in AH to a more "real" deal such as T-shirts design contest, stickers for your bumper. etc. etc. Not necessarily means we want to get more members but to bring AH closer to home .
