Re: No more IRC

I was using IRC last week and a colleague came up behind me and said 'OH ARE YOU PROGRAMMING? WOW THAT LOOKS IMPRESSIVE'

It evidently isn't user friendly and is only used by PA as a ghost of a long and historic legacy.

It's easy looking from our own perspectives of years of using this comms platform to say it's fine and most of the functionality is available through IRC, but it isn't convenient and it isn't welcoming.

A transition to a different platform would be easy enough, it would just require buy-in from all the alliances and the PA team. Change is very possible and healthy, it just requires buy-in from the top and some clear benefits to the user.

If we are serious about keeping this community going into the future, it should be a consideration.
