For me you would have to be happy, the chat was not abandoned or closed, a chat was transferred to Assistance, official xat for all languages, that was an honor, in my opinion.
(not deboxing.) And for me Assistance would have to be one for all languages, and all other help rooms in another language would move there as well. "closed in case".
And everyone on the all-language team should be given the position they have, out of honor, because you said they've spent years in that room.
