Personally, I think we all need to let a lot of things go.

... I wouldn't blame Ben if he never added chat to this site. After all, how many forums do you know of that have an integrated chat? There are plenty of other ways for people to get together in an organized chat-like environment outside of wotmania (EDIT - damn, I mean outside of RAFO) if that's what they want.
I know there's an argument that wotmania chat was easy to use and hide at work without installing a chat program (you slackers). But again, I wouldn't blame Ben at all if he just didn't want it here. It's a luxury, not a forum necessity, and after several (apparently) good years of chat at wotmania, that luxury was abused endlessly there and became a constant source of stress and headache for whoever happened to be dealing with it at the time, and remained like that for years.
You'll say, give it another chance, we're better now, it'll go good, you can just kill it if it gets like that again. But it's up to Ben whether or not that's even worth his time and effort at this point.

And I don't just mean chat. But regarding chat, if we're better now we'll show it. I recall SilverWarders long time sig "deeds, not words. " It wasn't all bad all the time, even at the end; the first time my fiancee logged into chat the first person to whom she spoke was me. By that time a pair of Announcements made me realize wotmania was more important than who was right or wrong, and I think I was and am better, but the damage was done, and I'll always wonder how much of wotmanias blood is on my hands....

Slightly better than chocolate.
Love still can't be coerced.
