Let's see, all the features it has over Discord (including one that isn't fixed because of lazyness and admins)

Youtube videos/Images can (could) be displayed instantly, from chat itself, via chat hacks (if it wasn't by some problematic code)

Customization of appearence overall (Fonts, font colors, glowing avatars, "self" backgrounds, glowing fonts, animations, images besides your name)

Multi-PMs

Chat logging (Historic of everything that was said and happened during chat, assuming a chat logger/chat bot is on)

A "Spam bar stopper" (Stops the scroll bar from going too up if someone is spamming, useful incase a spammer comes or too many people are talking at the same time, quickly)

Search bar & Tab complete, Ping (Everything else i think it's already included in Discord)

And, much better performance, even when chat is alive, specially, if you're using the ?usesitecss=0 trick. 1. YouTube videos are already supported built-in to Discord, without the need of some existential code that doesn't even work on my browser half the time. 2. I concede this one. Discord does not have nearly the amount of customization wiki chat has. However, this can be seen as good or a bad thing. On one hand, it's much easier on the eyes, as the background is one solid color. On the other hand, it doesn't really allow for users to show their creativity outside of what groups they're apart of. Though there are ways of fixing wikia chat, these should not come as add-ons. 3. Multi-Pms exist in Discord. 4. Again, I concede this one, and this my one gripe with Discord. There is no chat logging. Idek if we can get a bot to do it. 5. Discord has a built-in spam stopper, though it only really triggers if you spam ~6-7 lines of text really quickly. 6. Again, all of these features are in Discord. Plus, Pings actually matter in Discord, since it will constantly notify if you've been pinged (great if someones afk from the computer/chat) whereas wikia chat just plays a sounds and does nothing. Plus, you can ping multiple people at once in Discord, whereas in wikia, you have to know their "ping phrase". Wikias pings are awful compared to Discords. 7. Performance is literally just a matter of Computer. On my Computer, Discord performs way better than wikia chat ever could.

My argument.
