The chat was disabled because of inactivity. That isn't much of a reason to disable it, though, since it cannot harm the wiki, so we could enable it again, or leave it disabled. It has been enabled and disabled many times in the past years, with no real pattern; maybe we should deal with that question at once and then leave it forever disabled or forever enabled.

Personally, I'd rather be in favor of leaving it enabled as long as it isn't being abused and doesn't divert the attention of editors from editing, and doesn't move the discussion from this forum to there. I doubt that would happen, though.
