I'm usually doing several different things while in chat, talking would prevent that. Also, I enjoy expressing myself in the print medium. And I like being able to juggle several private convos + the main chat simultaneously, for the most part people understand they aren't the sole focus of anyone's attention, and can handle pauses...I'd be surprised if verbal chat was as robust.
I feel I can really actively converse with one person at a time, and do justice to the conversation/other person. I'd imagine it'd be pretty chaotic to have a bunch of people accidentally talking over each other, etc.
I guess I'm saying overall, I don't think I'd participate.
Then again, I didn't think I'd ever do the any chat room in the first place, either. TFP is the only chat room I ever use.
