SECJay 
Spoke with SECJay around a just short of an hr ago regarding this and discussed thoroughly.
Explained to SECJay that the only instant thing the forums could and has supported in the past was a chat bar on the site.Explained that in regards to a chat bar that it was previously made available and when made available it was rarely used.It was also at an expense to the site money wise as the usage didn't reciprocate and also cost the site to slow down in loading speeds etc.
Explained that threads that where subscribed to are far from useless like kaylius previously stated eg if a regular player that I game with fires up an Online Now Thread within a particular game,im automatically going to sub to the thread as i game with them regularly within my online gaming time therefore once anyone posts on the Online Now thread im going to receive an immediate notification through to my phone so I can group with them if and when available.
I will continue this trend as personally the forums in my opinion are what allows me to continually game with my CAG DOGGS.
