Newbie : Chat question

[Pharkas]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to forums and chat rooms.

I'm running a forum and my members have asked if I could integration a chat script.

My question is if it's possible to integrate a chat script and have the chats saved in the forum DB to allow other members the chance to review at a later date ?

My concern is that if most of the action happens in the chat room, the forums won't be as busy and won't have as much info to offer members.

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks !
