Chats needs to be automatically persisted.
For a guy, chatting up a storm with a girl, it is sometimes upsetting when the girl doesn't respond.
On 2rb, it appears that it is possible for the girl to have accidentally closed the window before she even read the chat.
One thing to help relieve this anxiety is to integrate chats with messaging, so that all chats are automatically archived as a message (in addition to an email being sent) The same way Gtalk automatically becomes gmail messages.
This feature would also allow me to go back and look at all the good times had on 2rb in a chat window. :)
This way, at least I can take nonresponse as a hint from girl instead of complaining about bugs on the 2rb site ;-)

oh, right, it has crossed my mind that the person sending chat messages might have been a nuisance to the person receiving the chat messages, so the solution there is to add "hide myself from xyz" functionality so that you can specify that you appear invisible to a specific person or a group of person.
(most obviously, for instance, make it possible to make self invisible to the group of ppl who are admiring u secretly, as an example.)
