I have an idea. Of course, I'm not sure it's a new idea. I don't know if anyone suggested it yet or not, but I know I've thought about it a few times.
but whatever...
Howzabout an #indyfluency channel in IRC?
I don't know how many people here use irc or are even familiar with it, but it's a pretty good chat program. As for which server to be hosted on, I recommend efnet, simply because it's the only one I'm familiar with.
It's not complicated at all. Just need to download an irc client [like mIRC] and log onto whatever server [like efnet] and type "/join #indyfluency". If the channel doesn't already exist [it shouldn't, unless neo's way ahead of me], then it will immediately be created and you will automatically be the op of the channel.
Neo, if you think this is a good idea, and you already know how some of that stuff works, maybe you could find out how to make some sort of bot that just sits in the channel, so that it's always open. 'Cuz if it's closed and someone else joins it, they'll automatically be the op and everyone who joins after them will simply be normal people, subject to the current op's whims.
And stuff...
I have no idea how much of the stuff I just finished talking about made sense, but yeah.
Yeah...
