There is no need for a poll. A poll does not properly convey the opinions of others. I want to hear just and informed opinions of the community before a final decision is made.
Ok then, I guess I can just wait for the decision :v
Once that decision will be made I will be already far away, Ryo you were wrong that people will return, and I will proof you wrong.
It has been a good times here spending with friends and finding new ones, but 99% of the times there is always and ending to a good things and loss of friendships.
Delete my account, if you don't know how to find a way how to, because I'm not coming back.
I am sorry you feel that way, we do not delete accounts.
I assure you all a final choice will be made by the end of business tomorrow evening.

Not every person has voiced their opinion on the matter.
I ask you not to speculate or guess the out come of the investigation being done by myself.

I want to address some things people have been bringing up:
1. "A community run chat that is not run and moderated by the LoE team."
The big issue with this is that if we are promoting it, we can become liable for any personal or legal issues that can come of it. If we promote it and we put our name behind it that means we are attached to it.
2. "Just hire more mods."
This is easier said then done. The LoE moderation team has strict standards to ensure the quality of moderation, along with covering the legality of moderation. While LoE is a volunteer project we all do in our spare time, we still have to follow some rules set forth by various agencies, governments, and other legal bodies that help protect ourselves and you as the forum community.
3. "The chatbox is not a drain of resources or should be fixed so these issues do not happen."
The code we use for the chatbox is provided as a feature by the forum system we use. We use their code and their tools to fix issues so thus we are limited by what they offer.
4. "That's what programmers are for."
The programming team is currently working on the game itself. All teams are constantly busy with other projects to help create the game you are all waiting to patiently to play.
5. "No chatbox will mean the death of the site and community as a whole."
The chatbox is a form of instant communication between members of the site. You can also communicate with people using the other functions of the forum such as creating a thread, or using the PM system. We offered the three means of communication to provide different options for you the forum community.
6. "The no sharing of Skype names or other personal information on the forums rule is too strict and is not what the brony community or this community is about."
This rule was put in place to protect members of the forum and community. Some people do not want their person information put on the forum or in a public place, while it is their choice to put it there some don't want it at all. This rule was put in place to protect members of the community from harassment, bullying, and threats. This was also put in place to help protect members of the project from the same thing. There was a case recently about a member of the community harassing and attacking members of the development team. The issue has been handled and resolved but that possibility remains. Thus to prevent these issues from becoming more and more constant and more damaging to the project or personal life of one of the team members or forum community we will continue to enforce this rule to the fullest extent of the capabilities of the moderation team.
7. "It makes it easier for spammers and other people to attack the site."
This is a true fact, while the moderation team does its best to provide coverage to all functions offered by the LoE team it is hard to catch everything. If the situation every was bad enough we would remove the chatbox to prevent further abuse of the feature.
Please bear in mind we made this decision through a cost/benefit break down of the current systems we have in place. This was done to better manage our resources so we are able to deliver a game to the fans and the community. Your continued support, questions, comments, and concerns are all being taken into consideration for the final decision.

A "news feed" of that sorts would eat a lot of resources, more than the chabox does. It is not feasible to have a social network type of system in a forum community.

There is one chat server made by some other forum users, it's usually brought up once chatbox on server is down due to OSW but it can be brought up 24/7 to use and it also has fairly big number of user limitation.
It should never be linked here since we do not allow the outside linking of chats by forum members. If it is not supported by LoE then do not link it.

We will look into other methods of chat if the chatbox is not to return.
Post Merge
Also, we do not permit linking to other chat sites outside of LoE.

The chatbox takes more then just forum resources, it takes people resources too. The face of the matter is the mod team has to watch the chatbox 24/7. During this time we also have to watch the forums and as the holiday season comes closer and closer with each day it is becoming difficult for the moderation team to keep tabs on it 24/7. Also the chatbox has been the source of some issues on the forums for some time now. We have to balance out the fact that the mod team just like other members of the team have personal lives and other things going on. So it may be in the best interest for us to remove the chatbox from the forum. Also the chatbox will be removed when the game is open for full time play, so it was going to be removed anyways.
I would like to hear the community thoughts on this topic since there seems to be interest.
