That's unfortunate for those of us who are interested in what is happening at JTV, especially relating to enhancements (OK, you can laugh now) and other functionality changes. CC was by far the best way to find out what was going on. And since the forum is also long gone, we're left with blog.justin.tv (which isn't updated very often) and random casts on Daniel's channel. Even though there wasn't always much new information, it was nice to have CC available almost every week. I'll miss it and I know others will, too.
And honestly, I think this is going to be another hit to JTV viewership overall, although possibly just a small hit. Community Chat, among other things, was good promotion for JTV. Anyone who wanted it had weekly access to JTV staff. Now it's gone. Now people have one less reason for coming to JTV and one less "touch" by JTV to its customers: the viewers & casters. For Dylan's sake, hopefully at the end of the summer there will still be a job for him to come back to. I wouldn't say it's a sure thing. The trend is the trend, and I don't see any urgency to change it.
