I know a chat room that is always open will drive down the post counts but what if you had a mod for a chat room and would allow them to open up chat rooms during certain times.
For example:
1) maybe if we do exclusive interviews, we can open up a chat room where posters can ask the interviewee questions
2) Chat room mod can open up a room for certain games (i.e. MNF, Super Bowl, Hawaii late games, maybe even during NFL sundays a room for each game) and that can be where people type/post instead of an ingame thread which must put a strain on bandwidth.
3) Mods could use a private room to discuss issues instead of a back room which may take a little while
i think there are other reasons I'm not aware of....i know it is/can be built into the software and i see the negatives but maybe there are also positives.
just a thought.
