Since our userbase has changed since it was removed, I personally believe there will be less conflicts on the chat. Will there be arguments and drama? Probably, but that can happen without the chat too-- and honestly things have calmed down a lot.

Worse case scenario is if it becomes a problem again, we can take it away like we did before. It's a privilege to have a chat, not a right.
