It should still be there, but the Game Chat, in my opinion, is a more valuable tool now. Would it be possible to simply switch the order of the two? So that as you scroll down, you hit Game Stats, then Game Chat, and then Game Log?
I think this would increase the use of the chat and many users would appreciate it being more accessible.
I agree the Game Chat needs more visibility. We once ran a poll to see if people prefer chat or log on top, and the results was not decisive. Perhaps after this change we could run a new poll. Also, there is a pending suggestion for a new chat message indicator that I have my eye on...
I suspect that the poll may become more definitive with the new stats. The way I figure, (unless you had BOB) the log was more important than the chat when it was the only means of collecting information about the game. Now with the stats, the log becomes mostly redundant information, so with the updating of stats it seems like a logical time to move the log as well.
I am going to go ahead and assume you're not going to give us any more details here on the chat message indicator, so I'll go see if I can find out about it elsewhere.
