Since it is also a public network, it could have the ip globally blocked blocked for vandalism, etc. Regardless (in my school, it lasts till November). You are lucky if Wikia works at school. It is common sense, but some folks don't have anything else. I personally don't endorse it.

Is there another reason discord, a skype for gamers, would be blocked but the whitelist would favor the chat feature on wikia? Well, since a chat is sort of a sub-page, it's either the chat or whole website.

When i use both, both wikia and discord run pretty smoothy, and I have a c+ computer. I don't speak for all computers, though, but that's a statistic to add. That's true. Things work fine for me. I'd hate to be someone with browser might so bad, it just wouldn't work.

That aside, I don't necessarily need chat, since Discord exists. It doesn't affect me if it's open or closed.
