The Time Lord wrote: I've used the IRC channels on several Wikis and they work just fine. They're better than the live chat because they tell you when someone messages you. This chat system doesn't. It forces you to remain on the chat window for what could be hours waiting for someone to respond, never knowing if they actually will. So it's inconvenient for me trying to talk to Finn or Turtlecake on the Wiki Chat when I have other things to do and have no idea they're talking to me whilst I do them. IRC would be inconvienit as well. Sometimes I'm in chat but also watching something. How would I be watching something while having the chat go "Beep" every second.

Having IRC replace main chat would only make the activity on chat worse than it already is, because, me for example, will not be able to chat with anyone anymore unless I use message walls.
