I wouldn't want a public chat room on PT, but I think it would be really neat if there could be a private chat system, kind of like PM's, but instant, in which you could chat with one PT'er privately. The reason I *cough cough* would like this is because sometimes we PM people back and forth, and the PM box gets full too fast! If everyone's in the same room, I think that would be calling for lots of arguments! Its not easy to moderate a whole chat room.
But that's essentially what AIM, and MSN are PCB. "Instant PMs". You can have conversations with multiple people, or just one on one conversations, and you add, or block, as many people as you want.
