I haven't actively been using Fandom this year. I occasionally take a few peaks here and there. But this change, let me just give my opinion on it: This change is kinda saddening. The chat gives me a nostalgic feel and as someone who enjoys writing JavaScript code I loved experimenting with the chat. Over 1/10th of the scripts on Dev wiki are chat scripts! I suppose keeping servers running for a service that is barely used isn't the most practical thing to do in the long run when such time and energy can be used for a service actually worthwhile. It'll just be a hard change to adapt to. (I wonder what will become of all the scripts for the chat currently published on Dev Wiki).
