Sub-domain

Hi All

We currently have our knowledgebase on example.com/knowledgebase and we have great organic search results from this. We now want to add a chat system for better support and all of them want you to have knowledgebase.example.com (sub-domain) in order to pull in the knowledgebase properly for the chat systems. (I cant seem to find a decent online chat that can pull in your existing knowledgebase)

My question is, does Google penalize you in ranking/ organic results by using a sub-domain (knowledgebase.example.com) against using example.com/knowledgebase

Much appreciated

@WayneD .... Welcome to Webmasterworld!

It is hard to say what g will penalize these days! That said, chat is different from the content so should probably not be a consideration factor.
