Livestream maybe?

The Shoutbox doesn’t look half bad either.

You know, we don’t really need an off-site, third party server to host our proposed chat, someone on the discourse like a Mod, Local-Admin, or trusted member could host the server on their computer.

What do you think, @SteveAdamo about having the Stonehearth Discourse having it’s own chat?

What do you think, @SteveAdamo about having the Stonehearth Discourse having it’s own chat?

I think it’s been suggested before, but never really caught on, as far as I could tell…

Stonehearth Official IRC

The community has formed an IRC channel for everyone. You can join it at irc.efnet.org and we’re on #Stonehearth. It’s recommended to use a chat client for people who intend to stay for a while. Pidgin is a decent client that I use if anyone is in need of one. You can also use this link here to connect via webclient http://chat.efnet.org:9090/?channels=%23stonehearth

the livestream chats are always fun though!

Last I knew Trillian had support for IRC.

Emacs has no less than 3 IRC extensions.

Chatzilla extension runs on Mozilla Firefox and family.

mIRC was mentioned.

XChat was mentioned.

Many more options exist.

Well, I think that an open-source and web-integrated chat-client like AJAX Chat would fit our needs best. It’s not the worst option, you see. It’s actually pretty good.

Still in favor of the chat here. I know I’d pretty much be chatty or idle most of the time I’m not at work or actually playing games. I am a product of a chatty era!
