I remembered seeing a while ago a chatbox/shout box suggestion on the website.
Could there possibly be an IRC Channel?
internet Relay Chat is a way for uses on a network can chat with each other.
If somebody sets up a channel (I would be willing to do that if needed) than anyone who wishes to chat can connect by use of an IRC client (there are huge numbers of them, even a few on Android and ios).
The channel can be moderated by various people (like the ops on this site,
And spammers can be turned away by making everyone set up a nickserv account (prevents people from stealing your nick, and some channels require you to be registered to speak).
Thoughts!
Edit: so nobody said much, I went ahead and set up #swbf on esper.net
Yea probably should have put that in the Op. It's there now.

I suggest something easy to type. ##SWBF is open on freenode.
Pretty sure it'd need to be ## not #.
Also, wrt IRC clients, I recommend Pidgin for Linux/Windows users.
In my experience, spammers aren't too bad.
Um, you mean like X-fire? While fun, that doesn't seem very necessary to me, personally (just an opinion, do as you wish).

I dont have much experience with Xfire, so I have no idea.
Edit: here is a screenshot of #lobby on esper.net
