Thank you, I am glad you like BlastChat.
Let me respond to your request (please, keep in mind that I know exactly what you requesting):
It seems unfeasible to allow article/forum style messages inside chat (you have article/forum component(s) available that serve that specific purpose). Chat is dynamic application allowing live message exchange between many-to-many chatters (not just one-to-one), it is not expected that chatter submits an essay in single message, instead chatter will more likely transmit shorter messages to allow others to read and respond.
Messages limit is set to 252 characters, long enough to submit coherent message, short enough to make message containing little data -> faster responses, short enough for data storage and fast redistribution to all other chatters inside the room. (i.e. fancier the message -> slower the system, larger the message -> uglier the output, one message taking 3-10 lines inside chat just does not work well if you have 50-10-or more chatters inside chat chatting at the same time)
BlastChat is specializing in chat itself, allowing pleasant live opinions exchange, not fancy looking messages.
May be future will allow us to implement option like you ask, but it is not in our schedule at the moment.
