This chat shut down threads are getting pretty annoying. It always goes the same way. First, hordes of people from the chat flood the replies with "DON'T TAKE AWAY THE CHAT!". Second, people who actually contribute to the wiki put in their opinions (mostly neutral). Third, OP tries to argue with Opposers and then ends up making the thread become more opinionated and then someone closes the thread because of the overwhelming opposes.

Instead of just getting rid of the damn chat, can't we do a chat shutdown every couple of months to increase productivity? It seems like it would appeal to both sides. You get to keep the chat, and still increase productivity. And for the whole maturity thing, why don't you actually TALK to the mods and admins about it. I'm sure most admins and mods will be more willing to change their ways if their jobs are on the line. But in the end, can't we all just bite the bullet and realize that chat isn't going anywhere any time soon. I personally don't really care what happens to the chat.

I mean, I like the chat, but sometimes it's just boring. I try to get involved with the site but have no clue on what to do and get bad writer's block when I want to make a story. It also doesn't help that the shut down was on a really busy week for me. This thread is going to be gone soon, and chat will be back up in the next couple of days. But, there's always next time Rarity. Try again hen something really bad happens in the chat, or people just get bored of it.
