I do see how disabling the chat for whatever amount of time, so long as it's for a reasonable time, is required.

A lot of users hang around in chat, myself included, and I feel that really, a lot of us do just that: Hang around in chat. Hell, I think a lot of us aren't even bothered by anything else that occurs outside chat. I'm speaking as someone who rarely frequents mainspace anymore and recluses himself to the chat. I'm a testament to this claim.

I'm all for temporarily removing the chat, for a couple weeks up to a month. Whatever will work for me.
