::I removed the link to "Chasm" from [[Template:World]] for v0.31 articles only, since they don't exist any more. Edit: I've also marked it for deletion. [[User:Immibis|Immibis]] 10:27, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

:::Seems like v0.31 Chasms should not redirect to 40D chasm page, there should be a page that just says they no longer exist IMO. The v0.31 Web page states they appear next to Chasms giving a link to v0.31 Chasms which then kicks to D40 chasms, very confusing.--[[User:Railick|Railick]] 23:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)Railick

:I KNOW I've found a chasm in v0.31. It must have been 0.31.12 or earlier, when quest creatures hung out in caves that connected to the underworld. I was exploring one such cave when I got the [[announcement]] that I had found a chasm. I have an iffy memory so I don't remember if it was worded exactly the same as the 40d chasm discovery announcements, but I DO remember that the announcement contained the word "chasm" and not "cavern" (I had already received the "discovered a vast underground cavern" announcement when I first reached the open cavern layer). It was deep enough that I couldn't see the bottom. I was pretty sure there were no bottomless chasms in v0.31, but I just had to make sure, so I flung my character over the edge to find out. I don't know how many z-levels I fell, but it was nearly 10 seconds before I exploded into dwarfy chunks on the bottom.<br>

:So it would seem the v0.31 version of a Chasm is a place where cavern layers are connected by a sheer cliff with no slopes. I'll update the main article if I can verify this theory with screenshots, but as of yet I've only found the one chasm in adventure mode and none in fortress mode.--[[User:MightyJAK|MightyJAK]] 19:56, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
