Forum:Closing down Wiki Chat

This one's a pretty simple one. I'd like to propose that we close down the on-wiki chat feature. Chat is dead, plain and simple. I think keeping the chat feature open on the wiki might confuse new users, who could go onto chat without realizing that no one else uses it. The Sims Wiki's Discord server gets much more active participation and is much more regularly monitored and moderated.

In addition to closing down Chat, this proposal would also see the removal of the Chat Moderator user role. However, The Sims Wiki only has four Chat Moderators (excluding Administrators, who hold Chat Moderator privileges automatically), and none of those four moderators has edited the wiki in over a year. Along with this, we would need to scrub current policy and wiki pages to remove references to Chat (except for archival purposes).
