Hello, users of Sonic News Network. Today's site discussion revolves around the Sonic News Network chat room (which can be visited here) and how I believe we should ultimately remove it. Bare with me before you cast your opinion below.

The reason I believe we should remove the chat room is simple and all stems to one problem: it's inactivity. With the addition of the new Discord wikia chat, the wikia chat room here is redundant. Besides, with maybe five users active on the chat nowadays (this is on a good day too), there's no sense in keeping the wikia chat room.

Now yes, there might be users who may not want to use Discord or Skype and would still like to communicate with other users here via the wikia chat room. But we shouldn't use that as the only reason to keep it, especially since it just sits there with maybe three or four users, and even a moderator there.

And that brings up another thing: the chat moderators. If we, hypothetically, remove the wikia chat room, we would need to demote everyone that has chat moderator rights. Just throwing that out here to state a subsequent action if we removed the wikia chat room.

I, personally, am in favor for this, and believe we should remove the chat room. But if you do not agree, then by all means comment down your response below. Please be civil and make sure you respect one's opinions. That is all.
