Back on topic, if I may...
I don't know of a way to lock the scroll bar, but if you view the ChatBox Full instead of the small box on the main page, you shouldn't have the problem of not being able to keep up. That, or catch up in the Archive, as bunny suggested.
As for the placement, I didn't realize having to scroll down was difficult for people (I mean, we scroll down tons for every single thread we read, right?), but if it is difficult, I'd rather it be difficult for people to get to the ChatBox instead of being difficult for people to see all the sections of the forum, the new active threads, etc.
Remember, this is a forum first. The ChatBox is just an afterthought.
