I think a PM system would kill the OT as everyone would converse over it instead of the threads

Nah, there might would be FEWER posts in the IM threads, but there would still be PLENTY of all around IM discussion.

Also so Spalding, I dont see how it would have ANY effect on anonymity at all. And if you wanted to blackmail someone about IRL stuff, then there are IRL ways of anonymously getting messages to people. Its like the criminals and guns argument. If someone wants to shoot someone, they are going to be able to get a gun, legally or illegally. If someone wants to get in touch with you and hey know who you are IRL, they can.

As far as unwanted hardlegging, its easy to ignore someone and blocking features are usually included in most PM PHP scripts or wouldnt be that difficult to add if you wrote your own.
