Yeah, a helicopter flew over my house right before it started raining. Don't mean it caused the rain. But there's a difference between that, and making a change to a website for a specific goal (increase in productivity) and reaching the goal.

What's funny is that if chat came back and something was said about such-and-such increasing after putting chat back on, all the opponents would be talking about chat being correlated with the increase.

I this idea, after reading stuff, it seems as if chat is nothing but greasy chat about greasy stuff. I have to wonder about the people running chat just sitting back and letting all that go down. Gives this site the vibe of a restaurant that people like and is successful, but for some reason they keep a dog fighting ring in the back. And that specific goal was for chat members to contribute to the wiki, which was partially met. The goal wasn't "shut down the chat so we can miraculously have a sudden influx of 100,000 visitors which couldn't possibly be attributed to any other cause."
