I am slightly confused. Is that in agreement with Speysider, or disagreement?

As for the rest of the discussion, I fail to see how points and arguments made a long time ago, when the era itself was very different, continue to hold any value in this day and age. Wikia itself operates differently, and points related have already been pointed out.

As to why the lack of chat: it's extra work. It's already been said that people are being told to go elsewhere, and most people just aren't interested -- it is extremely off-putting. It is disconnecting and disjointed. It may be a great resource, but it does not withstand the test of time and how humans behave now with the internet. They want immediate answers on the first site they come across. The internet itself is larger in terms of the amount of people browsing. This means you have more "casual" people coming across than before

I don't think Naruto.Wikia should be looked at as a community at all, to be frank. It should be viewed as a collective resource. And by not providing those resources, or failing to provide a modern and approachable accommodations (a la open forums) is fundamentally and intelligently reprehensible. There simply is no rational as to why change shouldn't happen and allow the forums to be open to provide stimulation for thought and continuing to provide the ultimate goal of this wikia -- information. To suggest otherwise completely undermines the very idea this site represents, and that is something no one should agree with; it simply makes no logical sense. You want to provide a resource yet don't truly utilize it and stifle it.
