Yes, but could you not do exactly the same thing in a forum section?
Programmatically the ChatBox is the same as a forum section, just viewed differently and with an automatic expiry.
I'm still not convinced its that great a feature, but I do see that it has its uses if its live at the top of every page so that when online you can join in a conversation without having to move to a specific forum section.
So the Poll option of having ChatBox only available on one section , seems a crazy solution to me.
