Just my opinion, I think chat cannot be replaced by forums and I think this is the reason why people are constantly opposing the idea.

It comes to my mind that the unique feature that chat cannot be simply mimicked in forums. The unique feature is that kind of feeling which you can see everybody is live, or you can call this the feeling of presence of different users. The problem with forums is that you need to refresh every time when a new message comes up as a notification, while you don't need to refresh your chat to get the latest messages. Unless there is an auto-refresh feature in forums, I mean all the threads, users cannot simply really feel what it is like in forums than in chat, and users want to try their best to protect or to retain this feature.

I know that forums may give you another sets of convenience. I think most users are concerned about the sets of convenience that the chat has. I hope I can help explain why users want to keep this feature. Even though now the feature is temporarily disabled, users still try to bypass the disabled feature to chat somewhere else, especially for Candy Crush Saga Fanon Wiki. Therefore, does disabling chat in the wiki work to prevent the rise of "dramas"? Partially.
