Okay, so Randomous is having problems deciding on what to do with the chat. In case you haven't been here in the last day or so, Random shut down the site because of the stress of the people on chat getting to them. But people started sending him emails and trying to contact them, and eventually he decided he didn't have a right to destroy the community, so he put the site back up, but disabled chat. Now, he's trying to think of options. The most popular 4 are: A) Bring back the old chat, make IRC relay system B) Use the freenode.net IRC channel (#smilebasic) and remove the chat here. C) Rewrite old chat to work through IRC Of course, there are people that don't like these ideas. If anyone prefers an option, or has a good option, post here! By the way, I'm doing this without the contacting of Random. If he wants me to take this down, I will. EDIT: More options are added

I'm such a novice... what does IRC mean?

IRC = Internet Relay Chat, it's 30 years old and still going https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat

Oh okay thanks

I vote for option C because it seems like the best choice to take.

It's not a vote. This thread doesn't reflect Random's actual feelings about this.

I unvote then.

Maybe you should devote instead? :P
