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 http://zeq2.com/lite/?page_id=39 its easy , and allot of communities use it , just a suggestion tho
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
