Yes, but there is still the dangers inherent with chat rooms in general. Plus, the wider you spread the subject matter of the forum's coverage, the wider the demographic becomes. A chat room opens a forum wide out for anybody to drift in. Once the problem poster is booted out of the chat room, he may head into the forum's main body to find the people he was just chatting with. The beauty of this forum is that it has a strong focus on bodybuilding and physical training. Open the doors to the world and you soon find that the moderators are too busy dealing with trolls and bullshit to contribute in any other way, and the mood changes throughout, along with the vibe and atmosphere that make this place so great to hang out at. Right now, anybody can ask any question and know that he/she will get an honest, knowledgeable answer without ridicule or harassment. Bring in the smartasses and the bored kids (no offense, but over 95% of trolls are under the age of 25) looking to start a flame war. This forum is already growing fast enough with people who are here for the primary subject matter. A chat room, in my opinion, reduces the credibility of any forum that specializes in a singular, dedicated subject. I would hate to see that here, especially when there are so many other ways available to bullshit about the weather.
