Personally I have no problems discussing non discus items in a chat room because I discuss discus on the board. I'm happy either way. Would be easier to moderate having it embedded like that because everyone can see it and report items in the chat. However, in a chat like that its going to limit people to instant fish help instead of posting on the boards. Having to go to a standalone chat, or another page for the chat, it seems to me just like a place to relax, talk fish if you want, but other things as well.
