::::{{VoteAgainst}}'''Oppose''' - I haven't seriously used IRC in ages, but I assure you there is absolutely no need for TSW IRC channel to be closed down. Besides, if there were any need for it to be closed down, I'm sure I'd have heard about it from those that frequent the channel. ― <span style="font:bold 108% 'Constantia';">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="#800020">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font: 108% 'Adobe Garamond Pro';">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="#000000">contribs</font>]])</span> 02:47, November 29, 2019 (UTC)
:::::{{VoteAgainst}}'''Oppose''' - Shutting down the wiki chat was a pretty easy move to make, since no one used it. By contrast, the IRC channel does still have active members. As k6ka mentioned, the IRC and Discord are connected via a relay bot (though at this exact moment the bot is down), so the contents of the IRC channel are visible from the Discord server via a dedicated channel, and text sent to that channel is visible in the IRC channel. There's really no reason to shut it down. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 23:31, December 2, 2019 (UTC)
 
If your relay bot that links the IRC Channel to Discord is down then it is not fit for purpose. It is also a testement that The Sims Wiki does not need IRC as it has Discord. I think the IRC Channel should still be closed down.[[User:MarketingSimmer|MarketingSimmer]] ([[User talk:MarketingSimmer|talk]]) 15:37, April 25, 2020 (UTC)
