    Hello there people

    i have suggested this before but it got lost somewhere in the general forums.

    Now id like to highlight it again and hope it comes under an admins attention , what i am suggesting is an IRC channel , it would enable us to have group convos and direct convos with developers and admins there instantly almost . It would be a sweet feature to be added to the empyrion site .

    What would probably be better is a live chat window on the forum, where real time question/answers can be posted asked and found.
    Live chat would use less bandwidth than what I think your suggesting, and bandwidth is big dollars in there industry.

    ^ wrong actually , IRC is hosted freely and nothing is stored on the website , its embedded , allot of communities use it , even free communities that work on conversions and mods , so no its not something that takes dollars

    chat window on the forums are actually quite delayed and very confusing , and IRC is instant and uses no significant website bandwidth

    an example

    its easy , and allot of communities use it , just a suggestion tho

    I see my apologies, though a text chat is still probably better than a verbal chat.

    both have their advantages and disadvantages , sites often have both of em .

    the main thing i had in mind was easier access to devs , for the community :)
