	I think the IRC should be entirely replaced by Discord. The main reasoning for one to shoot this down would most likely be "why?" or "unnecessary.". However, there are several solid reasons as to why I think this should be done. I am very well aware that IRC is the traditional, most accepted form of communication outside of talk pages on most wikis. But simply put: Discord does it better, easier, and is more user friendly in my opinion. This is a video game wiki, and having general or off topic discussion related to games on Discord is precisely what it's designed for. The fact that it has such an intuitive channel system makes it so certain topics can be sorted in different channels. It doesn't need a client side download since it's just a website and, as emphasized before, is more user friendly. I could come up with different examples to convey why this is a good proposal but I'll leave it at this for now. I'd appreciate any wiki staff to create a discord for SmashWiki and see how it goes. If people show up there to converse then the IRC's existence is somewhat irrelevant.

	-_- '''Strong Oppose''' I can't access discord at school, because of the firewalls. I can access the IRC however, because I have an app that lets me do so. Making the chat Discord would prevent me from using it at all while I am at school. Also, Safari on iPad. It reloads a page every 10 seconds.
