Timeline for Chat is not a place for live support, but what is live support?

Why not just create a new room for what you're proposing, you could even bookmark interesting conversations and if it's kept clean and on topic so to speak it could become a valuable resource, unlike TCR which is largely a sewer. | |

Right, I'm talking more specifically about questions that aren't appropriate for the main site but are still sysadmin related and aren't about production issues. Things like "What do you guys use to monitor 100+ Windows Servers that's free or low cost" or other similar questions that obviously aren't good for main, but also aren't like "halp halp! Exchange is broken!" which is the type of chatter that we're trying to avoid.
