1) Rename it as you yourself suggested.
2) Make it as easy to find from the board directory as Mac's was.
With those two things, I think it would satisfy anyone who isn't dead-set on finding problems. :D

I'm another in favor of long undirected conversation threads. I don't have a computer at work and tend to work weird hours so the chat feature is of very limited use in my situation.
Curly:
I think the drawback of chat is that it is just idle chitchat between a few people, whereas in the thread form it becomes a conversation that people work together to create over time.
It seems more like a collaborate effort at decoration than conversation, with pictures and comments and such.
Truly, it is reviving the art of conversation.
Ok, that was overly dramatic, I like the threads, is all :D*shrug*
iago:
I get that. But persistence is part of what gave rise to the problems that prompted the big redecoration (people coming in hours or days after someone misbehaved and getting riled up all over again), so I do regard the chat option as having features that are better than threads, too. ;)
I don't think that "undirected conversation" is really established as a *positive* pattern here on the forum. And even so, the "and other silliness" part of the Forum Games area does suggest to me that a little undirection is still possible.

Hmmm, tricky. Give a guy some paint he could make a Mona Lisa or slop curse words on the wall...
I do not envy your choice, Sir.
