It's a loss if Louise_T doesn't come back, but I hope she does.
However, chat is not a cesspool of idiots using chatspeak. In fact, chat has very intelligent people, of all ages, who participate on a daily basis, sometimes to trade information on trainz, or a joke, or a personal difficulty. We look after our group but we welcome anyone else, as long as you don't mind people that disagree with you. No time to think about a well-worded answer here. We like to keep it live and entertaining.
So if you miss off-topic or want to make friends; if you'd like to talk to some creators, or become one; come into chat.
