This would be great if it were a forum you could log into separately when you logged into the site. The only problem is I use yahoo IM at work (they said they will be getting an "enterprise wide" solution later). If my yahoo is up at home, people might think i'm available at work and starting IMing me thinking I'm in my office and available to help with their problems.

I could select a completely new account, but I noticed system performance issues at home when signed into various IM accounts. The IM is constantly pinging looking for updates at startup and while running and it slowed other process performance. (Even with Road runner and a fairly decent 2 yr old PC.)

I really need to stop checking for PM's during work. This needs to be an after work activity only....
