>Why are you trying to remove features that lets people chat?
It's one of Heyuri's long-held philosophies that makes it unique: that imageboards morphing into a collection of semi-persistent chat rooms (as opposed to a steady flow of new threads to the boards) is part of what made them suck. We have a rule against reoccurring general threads for the same reason

We have everything set up on the imageboards to inspire users to make new posts to the boards instead of siloing themselves to the same handful of threads - helping to establish a unified site culture and keep the first page of the board indices fresh
