What about a persistent group chat

I wish there was an opportunity for a group to create a chat.
A virtual place where members of a specific group (and only them if the group is private) can meet when they are online to chat, talk and organize games.

I did a suggestion:

You can form a group in BGA, but the "discuss" feature on it doesn't seem to work, as I think only people currently online see it. Is that what you're talking about, when you say persistent? It'd be nice if it worked like a game-room chat, and anyone could see it even if they're not logged in.

I know that you can post messages on the "wall" there, facebook style, but that seems a bit format and restrictive, especially if you just want to gague interest in a game

Yes. What I mean is a GROUP chat and maybe a GAME chat too.

So when I am online I can easy speak with my group (public or private does not matter) friends or with people that want to play or love same game
