Board Thread:Wiki Discussions/@comment-25075055-20140331114355

So the chat has been up for a month now, but it isn't getting the level of activity that I would be expecting. 95% of the time, I normally see nobody in the chat: at random nights, there may be a few odd users, but I hardly EVER see regular users of this wiki there (Shakhmoot, IndcxvNovelist (sp?) and myself are probably the only regulars there).

One thing I have noticed is that most of the people advocating the enabling of chat (Omnibender, Snapper2 and so on) do not bother using the chat. To me, this just seems like you were supporting enabling it, just so you could go around continuing to close threads and claiming that people should go elsewhere or use the chat: the problem is, the chat gives off the air of nobody actually caring about it.

In all the time the chat has been enabled, there has been more people creating threads than using the chat. Doesn't that tell you a lot? People don't want to go to Naruto Answers (which, jfyi, was created because of the pointless rule saying you can't discuss Naruto on the forums, which is asinine) or the chat to ask a question: they want to do it here.

I have created this thread so we can work out how to solve this situation. To me, the only situation that comes to mind is that we just allow people to make forum threads to discuss the series, because it seems that people find this the more convenient method of asking a question.

Please discuss below. :)
