It was decided against because of worries it would make the forum essentially obsolete.
I know, this should be out of my concern, but this place has a serious lack of discussion threads. Personally, I'd really like a music thread, so I could post eurobeat there (and eventually learn of other members' musc taste, har). Of course a discord chat will make this place obsolete if it only has a chat thread for offtopic yadda yadda activity.
There's a good reason we avoid that.
If we made a bunch of seperate threads, the forum would look EVEN MORE inactive than it already does, since everything would be split up.
We've always used the "one main chat thread" philosophy, and it works well now that we aren't mind-bogglingly fast like we used to be on the Chucklefish Forums.
This is said main thread. Anything you would post in other threads, you can post here... Asides from RP. Those have their own threads. Or user-created-content (basically your personal galleries/discussions for whatever you're working on/have worked on.) Or introductions, for some reason, even though those could be confined to here perfectly fine.
TL;DR we don't have enough activity to warrant splitting the thread, since it already moves slowly.
