What is the proposal?
As all of you have been noticing on the chatroom, it's starting to crash more than usual. This isn't the first time the chatroom had issues in general. One time Wikia had server issues for days and the chatroom was rendered obsolete. Thus we tend to join other chatrooms outside Wikia, such as Livestream chatrooms and what not. This method became broken because...

1. Users are going to different chatrooms at the same time

2. Users don't know which chatroom to go to

Because of this, I propose a permanent alternate chatroom. When our main chatroom (here on SNN) is offline or suffering major glitches, users can communicate on the alternate chatroom until a "all clear" has been sent.

Where is the alternate chatroom going to be located?
Now what chatroom-based website are we going to use? What I recommend we should use is Chatango. I've setup a chatroom page and you can try it out in real time.

If we do agree to use Chatango, I recommend chat moderators and administrators to create an account there if you haven't if possible. Plus, we can make a stationary page with the embed code of the chatroom on the page. The same way we did @SonicNewsNow, Sonic News Channel and SonicFirstNews. (example: Sonic News Network:Alt Chat)

A reminder, the alternate chatroom isn't suppose to be an a exact replica of the current chatroom.

If you got something better than Chatango, please recommend here. Don't recommend another Wikia's chatroom as this is a "alternate chatroom" and it's completely separate from Wikia's servers.

Alright, let's discuss!
