As I have stated before and will state again; We are a Wiki for writing and improving fan fiction BIONICLE stories, and not a social network for chatting and interacting with others. And, if somebody isn't allowed on the IRC, then why are you on Wikia in the first place? Wikia is practically the same as the IRC, interaction and socialization should be taken to talkpages or e-mails, no Chat. And, why shove the problem up ours (the Staff's) when it's not our problem? We're not turning our backs on you, but if you're not allowed on an IRC it's not that the whole community should change from the IRC to a chat just because a few aren't allowed on the IRC. Now It may seem I like I am turning my back on you, but I am definitely not, I am just saying that, we shouldn't change just because a few users aren't allowed on the IRC, it would be a ridiculous change with no practical reason, and probably even gets worse results for us..
