Ive been on other forums where they have what is called a shout box at the top of just under the banner ( like a chat window basically ) , just wondered if it would work here ? .
Not sure if it would take up a lot of bandwidth tho ?? . But it good to say hi and have a little natter to someone you dont know insted of messaging them on the off chance .

Your thoughts -----------

isnt that what MSN does ?

MSN isnt related to LZ in that way or any other website for that matter ( other than adds ) . This shout box ( cant find a site to show you that you can see without logging in ) is a live message window on site and updates everytime someone hits return on the message window . hard to explane really . google search will through up a load of websites with free embedders etc
 
found a better explanation of it

What's a shoutbox?
Shoutbox a.k.a tagboard/chatbox, is an easy to use messaging system that allows you to interact with others instantly.

A shoutbox can be placed on your blog or website. Your visitors can then easily post comments in it. They can also use the shoutbox to chat with you and other visitors at the same time
