Hello all,
In the (very)early days of AFF, we used to have regularly scheduled monthly meetings over IRC. This was actually a very useful tool for getting things decided, since it was in real-time, and I think it's definatley something that we should bring back. I'd be slightly uncomfortable with using ChatAutism though--it seems like there's going to be quite a bit of animosity between Spectrumites and G&A for a while.
So if we wanted to do this, we would either have to:
1.Set up a new IRC server
or
2.Set up some channels on a system like Rizon or Undernet
I'm leaning towards option 2, mainly because I'm willing to admin a system but I lack a box that I can keep on consistently enough to be useful as a server. The disadvantage of this, of course, is that we're then at the mercy of the network(although this might be slightly more reliable than a single server). Of course, if someone had a reliable comp that they'd be willing to host it on, that would be the best.
