Chat has been a function of online communications for a long time. Whether you find chats useful or enjoyable depends a lot on the participants. On average, crowded rooms get annoying, but I've had a couple of good chats in rooms with 2 to 6 people in them. Chatting online can be a good communication tool, and I think everyone should have the option of using one. Finding a good place to chat is a different and difficult problem.
