Edit: nvm, got it to work using the ChatScheme.res from FrankenHUD -

I changed my ChatFont "tall" to 11 and "weight" to 400 in ChatScheme.res, and my ypos value to "c" (centre) in the BaseChat.res that I downloaded. Much less in the way now.
BaseChat.res goes in tf/resource/ui/ and can be edited on the fly with hud_reloadscheme. Try messing with the width of chat etc to slim it down a bit, too.
ChatScheme.res goes in tf/resource and requires a restart of TF2 to effect any changes.

I think you need to have premium account to change that.
