Alternative to "OT thread"

I've never gotten the point of the OT thread, and im sure the higher-ups dont like it using necessary bandwidth that could be used for useful archives or something. Do you guys know that there is a "Chat" feature, at the upper end of this page, right below the forum categories (and your name and message count on the right side), above that is "users chatting", i always see NONE in there. I was just thinking this would be more fun, like a live chat where people could come in and sit around a virtual bonfire and leave as they want, ive used it before and it's pretty cool.

it throws you out after an incactive period.... just logged back in were you in main or general? click the drop down at the top to change channels

ETA - even though I am logged into chat in another browser window, the bar at the top of the screen says none.
