Normally when on the PokemonDB, if you want to arrange a trade you have to do it in the Chat Room, but the Chat Room is so inactive that this ends up being not a very good site to arrange trades. Maybe there should be a specific section on the site where users can arrange trades. Otherwise it might be a good idea to add more chat features so that it's easier to make trades/arrange for battles on there. For example, the ability to browse pages in the CR. Since we don't have the ability to click on pages in Chat, eventually older messages will eventually be gone entirely. This may not be the best idea considering that not all of the messages people send will be on the same topic, so we'd end up with hundreds of pages of chat -- this is why I think there should be different chat rooms for different subjects. Maybe there could be an individual CR for trading, battling, discussions/debating that otherwise wouldn't be appropriate on Pokebase, and one for general conversations (like the Chat Room we currently have).
There are other sites that do this but it might be a good addition to the Database. What do you guys think?

This is exactly the intent of the forum feature Pokemaster is making already.
Pokemaster does indeed talk about the forum we will get, you can read and suggest about it in this thread: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/63861/merging-sections-what-happens-when-the-forum-releases
Note, we still haven't officially worked out all the details, and will probably start with a test forum, I think...
If we make more chat rooms, then the activity will be more spread out and each chat room will be more dead than a single chat room would.
More chat room isn't a good idea. Chat Room is normally dead
I agree about the Chat. I really was just looking for a place for more communication and where it would be easier to arrange trades and such. I figured I might as well spice up my suggestion though to hear what everyone else thought. Also, thanks Stakatacool, I was looking for that information since I wasn't 100% sure about wha the forum thing I've heard about was.
If chat is always dead, then why would a chat specifically for arranging trades help with arranging trades? I'm almost certain that, if there was another chat room, that one would be dead constantly, also.
