Seemingly, no one that is involved in running the chat even likes NG.com, so to have it linked on the home page doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I do not mean to speak for the chat mods, but it appears as if those of them that wish to make their voices heard have quite clearly stated that they do not like this site nor what it stands for in their minds. Fair enough. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Would it then not make perfect sense for the chat to be dissassociated from the site?
I am actually surprised GA is even upset. I would have thought this would make you happy. The chat is now no longer associated with NG.com and therefore an entity unto itself, to be managed completely by those with chat mod status without any perceptions to the contrary. Seems like a good thing to me.
nick_th_fury once said something to me that made a lot of sense. He had said that concentrating all neo everything in one place was a bad idea. Lots of sites means lots of perspectives and when one goes by the wayside, there are others to take their place and visit.
The neo chat is the same as it always has been. It simply isn't linked on this site. No more frustration dealing with NG.com drama, no more feeling you're getting the short end of some stick. The neo chat is a totally independant entity now. I think that is a good thing both for this site and for the chat itself.
While I was tempted to lock this, since it is essentially drama, I will leave it open since it does talk about a change to the site. If it degenerates into something else, it'll be tossed into the miasma by me or another mod anyway.
Oh, and I will add this as well.
Don't blame Shawn.
