Well, not really. You can easily create/add to a discussion post. However, when it came to the live-chat, it was only for the means of connecting with users on the wiki and to be honest, more trouble was common to happen on there due to the lack of much use.

Once again, Discord is a great replacement so far for the removal of live-chat. And when it comes to the chat-room, it is a highly replaceable concept by the introduction to Discord (mobile and PC friendly, as well as being free to get it whilst just browsing or downloading the app), and Message Walls (since two or more users can talk with one another already for free on the wiki itself, with the only difference being the timing of the messages sent and the functionality of the messages).

Overall, flip-phone friendly or not, if the chat was going to be an easily replaceable feature later on in the years and seems to be postponing future development by transferring it to newer wikis, then I have to agree that the chat seems less likely to remain for most wikis.
