We were building up a good community here long before we had chat. If Drew and LBK hadn't worked so hard to build up the wiki in the past, it might have continued to go unnoticed, even to this day. And guess what? They didn't need chat.

In fact, chat is pretty much just a distraction from editing, and dealing with more important issues. But then again, even the most determined editors need a break from editing, once in a while...

But seriously, I don't consider chat to be a feature that really builds up the community or the wiki.
