I usually keep to myself and set in my ways which is why I am reluctant to download Discord. That and I am busy with other things and can't give the attention for it. Regardless if Chat is turned off or not I would like the forums to stay so users can discuss other things at more casual pace or to contact the staff community if needed.

That asside, I could contribute more time on Chat I suppose but I'm just usually distracted or busy with other non-SNN things. But what if, let's say, Discords service went down for either maintenance or othe rreasons, perhaps wouldn't it be best to keep SNNs Chat for a back up? As well as for the community who neither has Discord or whats to hang out on the forums.

Reading this I need to clear up a misconception: Discord is not affiliated with SNN and never will be. Everyone needs to stop talking as if it is. Yes, the community uses it (and a whopping .01% of discussion on the chat is actually related to SNN), but it is not officially affiliated with SNN and should be treated as separate from SNN. Regardless if the discord thing is assosiated or not, original post is about taking down SNNs chat because if it's inactivity as well as users and staff turning to Discord to commune. I dunno how big the Discord thing has gotten, but regardless perhaps a bit wreckless to take down SNN Chat when it could be needed for either casual or emergency meetings.
