This is one of these things that should have been forseen but is still worthy of note when it happens, if only for the lesson it offers for next time. The rate at which chat room use is increasing has slowed down. Factors cited are a more focussed use of the internet, disruption caused by younger participants in the unmoderated environment, and concerns about predators. A better explanation, in my view, is that as the growth of the internet as a whole slows (as it must), growth in established parts of the internet also slows.
