I've posted a similar thread before, and got some guff for it, but I still think it's a good idea. If someone is logged on to the chat room, and they don't post any comments within a given amount of time, they should be booted from the chat until they log back in. I've seen the same names for years, without ever seeing any comments from the names. I think 20 minutes is a very generous amount of time. I feel this would greatly improve the chat room, as you would truly know if anyone was talking whenever you log on. My 2c.
