It was used quite a bit for a while, then fell into disuse.
It's my opinion at least a portion of the reason it fell into disuse was the lack of promotion. The most common complaint I heard about Chat was "I don't go there because nobody's ever there." If there were a regularly-scheduled Chat session or two, maybe people would have a reason to be there. Of course, the second most common complaint I heard about Chat was "I went there and people were already having a conversation; I didn't want to interrupt." Typically, Chat etiquette states that one shouldn't expect to be having a private conversation in a public chat room (there is usually a way for private person-to-person communication outside of the publicly-viewable channel, though) and there's nothing wrong with anyone entering a room and giving out a general "Hello!" even if there is other traffic in the room. Perhaps a few threads on how Chat works would help ease people's concerns.
The reason I didn't like the chat feature at the MTMMO forums was that there was no ability to see who was in the chat room before you actually went into the chat room. I want to see if it's people I would even want to chat with before going in. That way, I won't need to be seen, said hello to, etc., if I'm just going to leave right away when I don't see anyone I want to chat with.
Now I sound like a big fat hairy douche.

So was there still a thought of having chat rooms? Is that something that the software supports?
Working on becoming the person my dogs think I am. When I rescue one dog it doesn't change the world, but sure the world changes for that one dog.
Yes the thought is there. The software can support it with an add on modification but as with many other customizations I have in mind, I want to wait until we get upgraded to vB5.
The problem? The upgrade process isn't working and I'm not getting very timely help from the vBulletin people.

Well I'll be skewered.
I had no idea you could refresh the upgrade page and it would keep going past the failed step.

If this works then we'll be able to do testing of vB 5 and **** the vbulletin team.
