This was mentioned a while ago.
Back then it was said that the lounge IS a chat room.
All subjects (within the allowance of the AUP) are raised and discused.
Whatever you call it (lounge or chatroom), you can talk back and forth with anyone else who is online.
It was also said that there are plenty of other specific 'chatroom' sites available.
I can't be bothered to do a search but I bet someone out there could find it ...
