:::Per Blitzwing. Obviously, you can't stop people from creating usef channels, or from visiting them, but only the active ones should be mentioned on [[Special:Chat|Chat]]. Also, channels with restricted access shouldn't be listed, they can't be accessed without an invitation anyway, and that would come with the channel's name. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 10:19, 24 January 2009 (EST)

:::I may have a user channel, but you're right. There are too many user channels on the list that aren't even used. I just went through them on the chat and found that these aren't being used anymore (because of lack of activity): ''#dpchat, #fmchat, #ssgchat, #totochat, #deathnote, #dlmgir, #X1chat and #goldenchat''. #palkgiuschat should be replaced with #packychat (even though the former is still registered), but every other channel has been in use over the past month (30 days). If user channels should be pruned, I think this is where we need to start. [[User:Neurario|Neurario]] 07:21, 25 January 2009 (EST)

==Rules in the Chat Topic?==
<s>I posted this before, but it seems to have gone missing... I had a thought that since we get a few non-site users who don't know our rules, wouldn't it be practical to add the link to Help:Chat to our chatroom topic? Revising it to something like "Welcome to the Super Mario Wiki Chatroom! Enjoy your stay. :: New to the chat? Please read our rules: http://www.mariowiki.com/Help:Chat" or something similar would be very useful.

I dont say we delete, or restart #mariowiki, i say we unlink it to the wiki and make it not official. Anyway, active users rarely get there, it gives kinda a bad image of us to newbies, #mwikitalk would be better --[http://www.mariowiki.com/User:Tucayo http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png]([[User talk:Tucayo|talk]]) [[MarioWiki:The_'Shroom|<span style="font-family:font; color:Green; cursor:crosshair"><font>The 'Shroom</font></span> ]] 22:47, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

If you get rid of #mariowiki and replace it with #mwikitalk, than all the same people(Stooben Rooben, etc) would become operators, and all the same people would go there, and than it would just turn out like the original. It's pointless. If you don't like the decisions of the majority of the chat's userbase, than I suggest you go to a different chatroom. The operators of the chatroom are fine with the rules, and so is the majority of the active users there. Since the "active users" you mentioned don't go there anyway, why bother?
