Starting to compile some interesting stats about Chat. It's early in the morning, so I doubt Chat is as populated now as it typically would be. But here's what I see right now.
There are currently 45 users in chat. 10 of those users have written at least one post in the past 7 days. 12 of the 35 people who haven't posted in the last 7 days have at least posted sometime. The other 23 people have never posted. 39 people are grandfathered premium members and the other 6 are free members.
I'll refine this query so it can give me an instant snapshot anytime today and give me more data. Then I might have something useful to work with.
At this point it does, however, seem to support my hypothesis that chat cannibalizes posting. Roughly half the people currently in chat have never posted.
