So you can post and reflect on past discussions, if you wish to do it in a "live" fashion. Otherwise, the forums would still make a great way for people to contribute--it would just take longer to get through the material, though.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'record transcripts.'
I've never done much live chat. Would all the discussion get saved for anyone to look at? And wouldn't we have to all be there at the same time? (sorry for the dumb questions.)
Yes, it would be much like a book club where you get together "live" in a chat room and discuss sections of the book that you either agree to read ahead of time in small bits, or you'd read in front of the group.
All of the conversation for that chat session could then be wrapped up into a nice long message that can be read by others (Of course, we'd have to find a place to post the transcript).
The reason why I suggested the live aspect is because you can be more productive, more quickly by having a group of people to help analyze something on the spot. Otherwise, you may end up taking a week to get through a paragraph of text, which may or may not make you feel as though there is a steady continuity in moving through the material.
It's just an option, and completely stylistic of your own ideals!
