The chat as it is was such a massive drain on time and energy that nothing got done. We've made fucking bounds in the right direction with it closed. If we bring back chat forward progress on these specific projects will slow way down because attention will have to go to chat, trying to fix it's pretty major problems.

I'm not proposing something crazy or radical here, just keep it down as the initial idea stated: for 1 month. That was the original proposal. The 2 weeks have been pretty positive and I think "peaceful calm" is an excellent way to describe it. We haven't had shit fits or drama for 2 weeks, the only time we've had to deal with this kind of shit happens to be 2 days before chat even comes back. I get it, Maria made the thread, but now there're other threads and it's gonna turn into a nightmare pretty fucking quick.

Lets focus right now, until this month ends on the necessary renovations to the major parts of the site, then lets turn our attention to a set probationary period of Chat, see how it goes, and try to fix the chat.
