I'd like to give my actual argument, rather than my joke.

Chat is dead nearly 24/7- as much as it pains me to admit it, its probably going to stay like that. The good thing is, that now we got discord- which is alot better than chat IMO. There is even a nifty app for discord. Its more convenient.

With chat dead, moderation of it is unneccesary. Its like hiring police officers to patrol the inside of a cave. The only people who'd even want to be chat mods are people who really want to be staff, but without the real responsibility.

That being said, keeping chat would be nice! Its a good memory to keep it there. And who knows, some users might go there and hang out every now and again! I believe any staff positions above chat mod can do everything a chat mod can, so they can step in if we really need a mod.

These are my basic thoughts. Hopefully it is helpful to someone.
