User blog:Jamesb1/Life Without CCChat - A Survival Guide

Community Central Chat is arguably one of the biggest wiki chats on the whole of Wikia, but yesterday it temporarily closed its doors as part of an experiment. Many people may now be asking "Where do I go now?" "Where can I go for help?" "I'll die without the chat" "Omg bruh CCC is dead press F to pay respects". Today I hope to help you survive being without CCChat.

If you're looking for help
CCChat was always a help chat where people could get help. Without it, you can still browse the help pages for information on what to do. If your question concerns your wikia.js or chat.js, the dev wiki can help. They even have a discord for you.

If you can't find the answer, create a forum to ask your question to the people of community central. There is almost always someone watching the wiki, waiting to help people, so you can get help in no time.

If your problem is a troll, a name change or anything like that, contacting staff may be the best option. You can do this at Special:Contact.

If you're looking to socialize
While CCChat is a help chat, many people have made friends there, and the closure of the chat can break this friendship, but don't worry, there are other ways of socializing.

If you know the user, you can simply message them on their message wall. People usually are contacted when they are messaged so they can get back to you and you can all chat.

If you want a fun chat room, there are tons of other wiki chats to join. If you want to role play, or just socialize, try the Roleplay chat. Look for something you're interested in, and wikia is bound to have a wiki for it. These wikis may have wiki chats or discords to join.

If you're looking to date, Wikia isn't really the place for this. Try finding people on dating sites like Tinder and Grindr instead.

If you're looking to troll
Find something useful to do with your life.

I hope this has helped guide you in the right direction of where to go now CCChat is disabled. Remember, the chat is only disabled temporarily, and will be back in a few months, and you can still go on during Staff Office Hours. Until then, enjoy your CCChat-free day, and thanks for reading.
