Past experience says...even without official forums back in the day, nobody ever used POL chat. I think I probably used it once myself >_>

I agree that mumble/vent/TS would get annoying with 30+ppl talking...I get really annoyed when its over 5 people cause my mind almost explodes from focusing on so many people Lol

People will just flock here anyway to bitch about the latest update that's "screwing them over" or some other odd thing that people like to complain about <.<
