I had typed out this long post regarding the chat debate, but the page timed out as usual and pressing back or refresh deletes it all, so ♥♥♥♥ it. I'll summarize it.
The chat is not the cause of the bandwidth. The chatlog is. Remove a logging option, bring back the old chat, boom, fixed. The chatlog is what sucked the sites bandwidth so much, prior there was no issues.
Also can we please fix posting. I hate having to copy all my text just in case the page says "could not load" every single time. Not an understatement or exaggeration. It's Every. Single. Time. Only happens on here.
Please bring back the option to disable the flash header too pls. I have it selected on UCP, but...

Also, if we do continue to use the IRC, at least can we have one where we can maintain it, or where the OP is active...not being rude, but Suyo is hardly ever on when I'm on. o-O
