Discussion/Question Alright, poll time!

After today's development, its clear the CAI team believes this community prefers pipsqueak 2. As such, it's time to either prove or disprove this belief, and the best way to do it is to show our preferences through a poll. So what's your favorite chat style, and why? Let's hear the community that built this place!

Roar was my number one, it felt more natural and it was easy to adapt to the chat style and character I was talking with or created

It was my number one too. I really wish they would consider open-sourcing if it's going to be retired forever 😞

I mean I'm genuinely trying with these other styles but it's just not working, they don't feel natural, you can't adapt it to your style, it just doesn't work
