Sponsored chat can be a real problem, because it's hard to keep people from using it when they really should be using the forums. I don't think people should worry about the site going away. They know if it's down people are doing everything to get it back up. I'm not against anything extra as long as it's not my problem, but just words of warning/reason.
Edited: about integration. You would want the chat off site if you want it to be a fallback to the site being down. I've setup some crap to let people access an IRC channel via jscript before, but I don't recommend it... that is it didn't work well. As for capturing the logs for safekeeping, that would be something new for me. There is probably some software to do that though.
