Chat rooms are good if you have a large amount of people on at the same time. C-Bid would have to take a look at their page views, bandwidth requirements and monitoring to see if it would work without costing too much.
We could really do some argueing and fighting with a chat room.
Maybe they want us to bid not chat. LOL
I remember when NFL.com had a chat room. You picked a helmet for a symbol and a name. It was very fun. As the internet grew the teenagers came on and started cussing all the time and the monitor was busy booting people.
