User blog comment:SQhi/New Forum Feature in Wikia Labs: Do Not Enable/@comment-1455034-20121204194622/@comment-4652747-20121204205818


 * sigh*

This has cropped up several times. :/

You always seem hasty to get rid of chat. It allows for conversation in a way that you don't have to wait forever for others' replies. Some users enjoy it. If we don't allow for some chance to get to talk with others on the wiki about non related wiki stuff, we may lose people here. Almost all major wikis have chat. I don't see anything wrong with keeping it. It's nice to have a discussion when you don't have to wait 26 minutes to answer.

What I don't approve of is Wikia changing features that should be for editing, and making those features more social.

I.E forums, Wiki Activity, etc.
