Re: No more IRC

I think to keep the connection between irc and whatever messenger the admins would need to allow us to use a relay bot between the two. I expect right now the likes of MarkB would ban that as soon as it entered #planetarion.

I suggested discord in this thread for 3 main reasons:

- The functionality is on par with everyone else give or take.
- It is a neutral ground where there isn't any 1 alliance heavily using it so there isn't a huge bias towards it
- It is built on top of other gaming communities, we may be able to bring in other gamers easily.

p3ng has used telegram for years now. It has its quirks as does every other platform. I would put whatsapp last, it only wins on "real world" popularity but every feature it gains has been on telegram for some time now. Slack was nice when I've used it but also quite heavy as mentioned by vulgar.
