I guess you might think that it is more chatty than single-purpose threads. The thread in question is a permanently open thread on a very specific topic and people add to it on an almost daily basis.
But might you consider it as a possible candidate for including in future plans? 
I’m not sure whether the site in question would want or need a chat facility.
(If I could PM you I’d mention the site name. Are you able to PM me? @codinghorror can probably guess which one it is.)
