''Oh but flame, the site isn't for fun! It's for literature and writing and reading and stuff like that. Also, it's a depression pit and causes a bunch of drama that leaks onto the main site and causes a mess.''

All that stuff is true. The chat is not the main point of the wiki. But it never was. There were a bunch of users who used the wiki just for the chat, but why is that a bad thing? In my opinion, the wiki did not necessarily benefit from chat, but chat didn't do a lot of harm, either.

Depression pit? Why does everyone have to get emotionally attached to an online chat? Put together a bunch of people from different parts of the world, and you will always get drama. We've always been able to deal with the drama -I think. We have a forum for chat-related matters now, too. And I don't see why users will complain about moderators after the natural election. The chat has never really harmed the wiki. The activity on the wiki is the same as before.

Ahhh that's all I have to say. In a nutshell, I don't want chat to be shut down forever because it's a little box with all my friends in it. And all the friendships I hope to make. That, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who thinks so. OMG, you said this perfectly. Thank you so much.
