Leaning towards support. The reasons as to why shutting down the chat is good
 * 1) It would show the true colors of users with rights on how they handle their rights - those who edit, and those who do not edit ('cause of chat is in the way).
 * 2) Quality Control around the site
 * 3) Less drama leaking from the chat onto the main site.

Although, there is just one downside of this
 * 1) Drama will flow through: users who like to be in the chat will complain onsite - preferably blogs/forums in questions - about why it's closed (rather than being re-opened on the 16th)

Although I use the chat here to be able to get into contact with one person (who, nowadays, is experiencing home and PC issues), and I do not really want to spam her talk page on her sandbox wiki /Creepypasta wiki to come on TPW chat to discuss certain stuff (whether it be stupid [emphasis on "stupid", as it relates to... stuff stuff...]) or whether it would involve site work, like Spinpasta, and here.

But. I do like seeing Trollpasta's chat be lively as ever, as there are hardly any arguments over there. And users have the ability to be free in their tone of voice (where it's banned here).

So, for personal and obvious reasons, I vote neutral. But I am supportive towards your idea.
