Some thoughts on chat and identity theft issues:
I wouldn't generally think of NNTP or e-mail as being the clients of
choice for a chat room, I would see logging on through a web client as
being the means of use. Of course this might make chat only available to
members, but it could be set up so you don't need a membership (then
perhaps an icon shows up beside your name in the chat participants which
indicates if you are a member or not). I also don't think of chat
messages as being archived, so there isn't as much problem with identity
theft (in other words, I won't join the chat tomorrow and get all pissed
at you because I read something someone spoofing you posted yesterday).
