  2. Chat vs. posting: the death match

    Is chat the enemy of posting? After chatting for the last few days (an enjoyable experience, I admit) I wonder if it isn't killing the boards here by providing an outlet that people would use instead of posting in some thread, or making their own...

  3. Chat has become weirdly slow

  5. Should we restore Chat to vanilla as a test?
