I mentioned about big number of communication channels here:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=21637.0Right now I agree, that because bitshares is decentralize project its good to have multiple options, but let's face the truth. No one use forum's chat. NO ONE.

If someone approach bitshares by visiting forum first, and then try to find someone to talk about bitshares... on this chat, then bitshares looks like long dead project. We should remove things which harms bitshares.
