I have disabled Chat for the time being. It's not that I'm not open to having Chat, but I do think this decision was hastily made and requires a little more thought. Let me know what you think.
 * 1) We did not have an official vote. A lot of people would probably have liked to have shared their opinions on this (e.g. Cofefe, Loading, and myself), so if we do re-enable Chat it should be after a more inclusive discussion.
 * 2) I have yet to see a reason for keeping Chat. Sure, it might be cool initially and y'all have probably had some good talks. However, is this something that will last or is it just trying out a new feature? Because we only want to keep Chat if there's a clear indication that it will be used for a long period of time. If, on the other hand, it soon dies out, then it would not have been a worthy investment—in this case, I would recommend that you talk on some other wiki where Chat is always enabled.
 * 3) If we are going to bring back Chat, we'll need to change our JS and CSS back to the way they were before, which will be a pain. It can certainly be done but I don't exactly feel like fixing something I already fixed.
