Not that my against vote matters much anyway, since this thread is going to be ignored and you're going to go ahead with this no matter what we vote.

Why are any of you under the illusion that shutting down chat will stop the drama? No, all the drama that is actually mostly contained in chat will simply spill over onto the main site, like it has the many times before this has been proposed.

And as for saying people in chat do not contribute, that is the most untrue thing I have ever heard in my entire life. People who use chat contribute as much as people who do not.

My last point is, I have been told before, by the creator of this thread, no less, that by being on chat, I am contributing to the community of this site. Now tell me, when did that change? I am getting some massively mixed messages here.

The fact is, chat does keep the majority of it's drama contained to the chat. You are condemning it because of a few users, the majority of which are either new, or known to break the rules often, who think that it is a good idea to rant about the drama there on the main site. Let me make this perfectly clear:

'''THIS. IS. NOT. WHAT. WE. ALL. DO.'''

'''Basing your entire opinion of the chat based off only the bad that you see is biased. No matter what you think.'''
