    As a member of the IRC staff, yeah there are resources and costs (I know, because currently I'm running both servers - which will be moved to SN _IF_ the vote goes through) but it's not that much really.

    There's quite a bit of work to be done but that's not an issue at all. We're volunteers, we do what we like. ;)

    "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity"

    Ockam (attributed to him, but maybe he never said that version)

    We already use phpbb for our forum. There is a mod for that forum that is an excellent chat/shoutbox. mchat could easily be added to the forum and now you have an equivalent of IRC with very little extra effort.

      I'm actually fairly certain the forums are being discontinued... maybe we should have a community vote about this as well ;)
