Both chats allow us to communicate live without having to send messages back and fourth. Remember how the past used post letters than social media or chat programs and sites? It would normally save us seconds to minutes rather than hours to days.

Both chats allow the wiki to come together at the same time than actually have private convos or grouped convos that have a few hours for a new message to pop up. If Discord, or the chat feature from Wikia never sprang up and came to life, the internet would be unusually be quiet. Chat existed to bring users together on the wiki project, to have a fun grouped conversation and to strengthen friendships between users.

And with that point of "no meaning in life", I would like to tell you something, something that all of the wiki users share with each other. In fact, if you guessed correctly, the answer was that almost all users is in fact, anti-social in their own world, and in their own way.

Chat's meaning was again, to bring users together, but also serves as a second meaning, to allow anti-social users to have someone to talk to. If chat didn't entirely exist, what would happen to me, and everyone else?

Would I be talking to good friends such as Electric Plants, AWB, Nick Archer, Phantom of Ra, SnappyDragon and many more I didn't think about and were the only users that was in my head? No, I wouldn't. I would probably be at school, hiding in the toilet and eating because I don't have strong social skills compared to every other student in my school.

And besides, would I be editing on this wiki and residing here if there wasn't a chat feature here? No, again. I would've probably left because I don't have a lot of friends here, and I don't intend to actually use the message feature, since most of the conversations are only short ones, but chat extends them, beyond what I imagined.

TL;DR Chat might be regarded as a weak and pointless feature, but is a strong and secret contributor to social skills, and is the reason why I shouldn't be sitting depressed at home.

I didn't actually intend to make a wall of text to prove you wrong on just a sentence. It felt like that I had to correct you on that point.
