    Unfortunately this is true right now.  You can always just tell your 
members not to close the IM tab.  Alternatively you could have a 
"business messages only" group in which people don't use for normal 
conversation, but rather the important messages.  Once the important 
discussion is over, everyone closes that IM tab so that the whole group 
can get the message again later.  Unfortunately, right now it'd all be 
about etiquette.
    Another alternative could be just to leave important announcement 
notecards somewhere where every group member needs to visit.  I have 
some ideas of a better group/multiple agent chat interface, but it will 
unfortunately take some server side work that's not quite there yet.
