I agree with the others - chat room!
Personally, I disagree.
1 - If more personal conversations are desired, the forum already has that capability, multiple participants can be added & new message alerts are quite prominent.
2 - May take away from the simplicity of the Forum that attracts so many, in as it would add more clutter for the same end purpose & more load on the server.
3 - Posts are answered fairly quickly as Members sign in, more quickly than they would be in a chat because they can be seen immediately on login & as they are posted, by everyone, not just the few members in the chat.
4 - Would be very difficult, if not impossible to moderate content, language & keep civil.
5 - Queries disappear quickly as replies are added, losing the original question from a new login.
6 - Multiple queries & replies all jumbled together can create real confusion & very easily side tracked.
7 - Have seen/used it on other Forums, the novelty wears off very quickly, then is rarely used.
8 - Users get P'd off because they post a question & there is not always someone there to answer it or can answer it.
9 - Comments get misunderstood & there is usually no way to go back to check what was actually said.
Just my opinion, the Admin makes the decisions.
