So we have had a little time with the new Slack Chat Chatbox replacement for TAB.
The chat statistics have sky rocketed. It is truly an awesome program. But alas it still isn't embed-able into the site. Site activity has been going well too since we implemented the new features and such, but something about the external chat still gets me. I dunno just having that stream of comments moving across the screen every-time I opened AltTabMe made me happy. Regardless of hating it on my mobile device. There is a new chat app that allows for tagging and such, so you can reach one another still when not around. So if we did swap it would be to a new integrated program, with a better mobile view. Perhaps one idea is to just try it. Turn off slack for a few days and see how another chat goes.
My question to everyone is do the pros outweigh the cons:
Pros
Feel free to post why as well as vote on the poll.
Statistically it is hard to tell if the chat is taking away from site activity or increasing it. With all the new awesome features, I want to make sure we are using both to the fullest extent. But honestly don't know what direction to go here.
So I am open to all opinions!

Pros
- Mobile app smooth as butter
- Instant linking
- Smooth interface
- No website integration
- Feels detached from TAB
- I WANT MY CHAT COLORS BACK!
