I run a sports forum. For live games I’ve started enabling the chat on he topic we create for each game. I have folks that join the chat and folks that post in the topic during the game.

It could be interesting for a hybrid where posts/chats are shared. So the chat has everything the topic has and the topic has everything the chat had. Cross posting and chatting. Not sure if I explained that well or not, but hopefully it came across.

I see it as a on or off kind of thing to be enabled at the topic level.

We are working on the moment on interoperability features, quote support will be coming over the next few weeks and the ability to ship posts back and forth
