Chatting and posting are really rather different things. Chatting isn't going to maintain a long-term history. It doesn't build up content for reading. It's designed around short-form messages, possibly many in a row, possibly when there's no one there to read them. It won't even be useful during slow hours.

Think of it more as real-time visitor messages rather than an alternative to forum posts. I know you use visitor messages, and I've never seen you worried about aurum there.

If the chat DOES give aurum payouts (I said I was considering it!), it'll have to be rate-limited, otherwise it's likely to end up with someone saying "lol" "lol" "lol" "lol" in the middle of the night to rack up the money.
