I do agree that there's a convenience factor, and a mods-only chat is definitely a good idea. However, it might be difficult to spread the word about the new server, and some people might want to hang onto the old ones. For now I'll remain neutral, and I'll probably end up supporting this idea after I see enough evidence to convince me. The chance it replaces wikia-chat completely is pretty small. After all, in the discussion on the wikia-chat earlier, there were quite a number of people that mentioned the risk. Do you then think with all these people that mentioned the risk, would then sit by and just let chat waste away, never using it, eventually leading it to be replaced? I would think this not to be the case with all of these people concerned about it.

While it may be hard to spread the idea, there's a discord integrator that displays on the side bar iirc. We could use that, which would be enough of a message to say "We have a discord server, join us!"

If other people want to hang onto the old server, that's fine. It'll still be accessible. These servers can co-exist. I don't really believe this is a concern.
