A chat function on the forum and irc channel can be combined.

I once was admin of a chat channel of another forum for reptiles. It was not that much of a success back then. Most of the time it's just a medium to write all kind of nonsense and not to actually discuss about your animals. And there are lots of other chats for that. If there is a question, you have to be lucky that someone is online that can answer it. Theme chats where more fun, because everybody knew there would be a chat on a certain topic and everybody that was interested came to discuss it.

Also, I would never be an admin of a chat channel again. It's way more work than moderating a forum, which I also did.
