Is is possible to easily incorporate instant messaging into the forum so that two online users could communicate... wait for it... Instantly.

It's been said, but above the posts you will see "My Messages". Click on it. You have 3 links: New Message, Outbox and Inbox. My preferences are set to popup a new window if I have a PM. (Click on left-"Personal Message Options"  you will see "Save a copy"...and "Show a popup" checkboxes)

I personally like the idea.  There are sometimes when you need to communicate with another board member in hopes of a quick reply, but sometimes have to wait a few hours to days before you get a message back.  And, even though this would push the BBS to be more like FB and other social networks, it might prove to be useful.

So, I give it a +1

My understanding is that Chat Rooms take up an ungodly amount of server resources.. to the point that some website hosting companies won't allow you to run Chatroom software on shared hosting servers.

And can you imagine the moderator headache when some dummy gets his butt muted in the arena, then lurks in the BBS waiting on his 'target' to log in and go at him from there?


Sounds like an administrative headache waiting to happen.
