IRC chat is far more advanced over the Wikia chat anyway. Sure, it takes like an extra 3 seconds to log in because you have to type in a username but that's not a big deal. You have the OPTION to register any anonymous name that you want instead of having to use your wiki name (if you would like to use something different) or you can just use your name and not bother registering at all, or something else completely anonymous from the wiki that you use. Although, to keep things simple those of us at the IRC would like you use your wiki names if you're coming in for wikia problems (makes things easier, but is not required at all.) Since Timeoin does want the Wikia chat disabled, IRC offers several things such as chat statistics to see how much everyone chats on IRC (registered nicknames only but it's a feature) A levels structure so you can see which admin or operator you need to talk to about certain things. Whether the 'crat, or sysop, or just the regular users. (The wikia chat doesn't show these things 90% of the time) Also if you need help with anything IRC related, such as an IRC feature not working for you, there's even IRC's own administrators online to help you if there are no TES wiki people online to help you. Also using IRC allows you to branch off into another community of people to talk to that isn't just a specific game related chat. There's more to be said as to why IRC is more convenient but I've made this post long enough I think. You can always come chat with me on IRC and I can always explain more in-depth if you wish :)
