I keep some crazy hours, but I like to take breaks from writing to swing by and see what's going on, and a board is far more convenient for that. A chatroom moves too fast, and unless one is really hyped on reading logs (*snore*), you miss all the information. The noise-to-signal ratio in a chat tends to be quite high, too. It's one thing to read a post, mull over it, do something else, come back, reply, mull some more...you can't do that in chat. By the time you bother to reply (if you're multi-tasking), the convo's moved on to something else. Assuming, of course, that you're online and mentally awake at the same time someone's discussing a topic of interest to you, in the first place.

Board. Add a chat if you want, but my vote's for a board.
