I get it, it truly do, but being a person that started with the real time chat revolution twenty years ago, sometimes it is hard to move on. Forums give everyone time to chime in at their own pace. Being a firm believer in texting philosophy (I will respond when I have time not necessarily right now) I appreciate forums, as shown with my decades plus devotion. I just think that a chat function is good for that bonding experience. I lament at the moving on of technology and that live chat is seen as a legacy.

I used to spend countless hours in IRC.  The developers at Invision Power say that chat wasn't just unpopular on TGO, but on the vast majority of the forums on which it was provided.  They would know since they hosted the chat feature on their servers for us all.  I guess killing it off was just economically smart for them.

With Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, I can see how individual forum based chat was a losing proposition. 

 

But I don't subscribe to those mediums. Even if it makes me the minority. I accept that even at a relatively young age, I am becoming a dinosaur.
