User blog:NovaTopaz/Possible Suggestion(/Removal) in Regards to Chat

Figured I'd get this out, seeing as how this has been unaddressed for the most part. Also in shock at what I saw with the mace thing... Hadn't realized this had happened until today(what I get for not paying attention -_-). If any part of that happened on chat, well, we know how Wikia likes to work with that with it's chat. Chat sessions get deleted when no one is on after a certain period, and reloading the page to clear up the page and get it to operate better truncates the chat. The fact the "mace investigation" is now something I've noticed, plus having seen the discord chat system about a week ago because of SP, I really do think it's time we, at the very least, reviewed the other available options that could replace Wikia's chat system. Preferably, we should replace Wikia's chat with a chat that can keep track of previous comments so we don't run into the issue we've had with previous chat ban/wiki ban information, where if someone didn't copy-paste the chat info, it was gone for good. I mean, to be fair, the only real reason the Wikia chat has lasted as long as it has is because, well, it's convenient. But there is many, many better alternatives to wikia's chat, and switching to a different one could easily provide the wiki a solution to many of it's past problems in terms of chat, and could probably put a link to it where chat normally is.

At the very least, consider the proposal.
