I don’t read the chat but I have nothing against it. I avoid it mainly because it contains spoilers, which I try to avoid. In fact, I usually zoom my browser view so that the right hand side of the page containing the chat window isn’t even visible on the screen. That way I can stay spoiler-free while others are free to enjoy the chat. I also tend to avoid all chats wherever I encounter them, but that’s just me. Those that are reasonably active scroll so quickly that I find it difficult to read quickly enough to keep up, let alone compose any kind of reply. This is aggravated by the fact that the need for rapid typing leads people to use a great many abbreviations and to often throw spelling, grammar, and punctuation to the wind. Put all these conditions together, and I find it very difficult to decipher most chats. So, I’m glad to hear that many of the topics discussed are showing up here in the forums where I can encounter them at my own leisurely pace. Here’s hoping both media stay active.
I am going to try your method of zooming in method … I do not worry about spoilers but I find my concentration gets side tract when I see the chat. I also think some great discussions get missed.
