I'm not completely sure about that. I wish I had been recording statistics when the chat was here and then after it left. =/ Still, I'm not sure if that would prove anything. However, I think we can agree that on average, we haven't experienced more activity since the chat has gone.

Personally, I think that if we did reinstate the chat, the average person would not spend significantly more time chatting on AiO chats overall. They would simply reduce the time they spend on other existing chats to fit in the new one.

Yeah, I think we would see more people on SS, but probably the same amount of post on the board as now. Maybe :o

Oh yeah. Sure they will. Past experience so confirms that.

To be honest, it seemed like the SS fell into chaos without the chat. I've heard various accounts from people who have left because it became "boring".<-- I agree. In addition, I cannot contact those people whom I've cherished from the chat. So, I vote for the chat to come back on.

YES. I would like for the chat to come on.
This is a block of text. I'm not sure why I put this here, or why you are reading this. Well, I guess I should say something witty here.. I'm not going to, but you'll probably stick around just in case I change my mind. Um.. Running out of things to say.. Wait, you're still reading this? OK, that's too much, stop. Seriously, STOP.

It was more of an annoyance than anything, Shnoodlec, to the SS anyway. People would chat literally half the day away sometimes and not make a single post. Often times, posting sank to almost nothing.
Chats are nice, but they don't belong here. And that chat tended to be about nothing. People would get carried away pretending, goofing around, making random inside jokes that got bigger and bigger, hour after hour. Those are lovely in moderation, but they practically took over in this case.
The main thing is, it wasn't for talking about AIO. It was entirely unstructured silliness that dragged on and on.
In other words, it's not so much that it wasn't fun. Many found it too fun.
Some enjoyed it. Which is great. But you didn't miss anything.

Ok..I hafta say...I'm beginning to SERIOUSLY WANT CHAT BACK.
I mean there is no beating around the bush!! Look at mafia...nobody is posting! Look at the number of members on...its just me O.o
I don't think its shameful to say that the chat kept us alive. Its just like saying that communication between spouse keeps a marriage alive! (not saying that we're married to each other O.o )
Chat helped us to further develop relationships with each other..relationships that are now dying :( It makes me sad...
