Won't happen unless they develop an own chat. The current one is developed by IP.Board and is pretty much uneditable.
Developing an own chat won't be easy either though, it's alot of adding, editting and altering.
As far as I can recall, the only staff members with enough knowledge of PHP/Ajax to develop this are @Zach and @jason, but @Zach has no time and @jason doesn't have the right permissions to even start a project like this.
It would be a nice feature but I don't see this happening, sadly.
