Bots can easily be made/downloaded for IRC, and they can monitor language -- kicking or banning for specific words or phrases.

Arguments will happen anywhere, be it on the forums or in a chat room. It's unavoidable, but a small side effect to what could otherwise be a great tool in bringing together the community.

well in the beginning i did idle 24/7 but not many peopz showed up...
anyway something official would be nice, best it would be an official chat linked somewhere in the community menu (easy one click link, irc could be optional) so everybody who`s like to join a chat had a chance to do so.
i think its not that much work, but it would be a very nice feature in many ways, for helping people, watching games together or talking about the development and the future of the game...

Why is this stickied in the help forum?

None of the links work anymore.

I was way excited to see a chatroom, maybe you guys should try it again since membership has had to have grown since last June/July.

glad to hear it,

but charles doing it at an event doesnt really count as to getting many to chat if that the measurement.

because,

1. surely mostly who will be there are those of who's country is playing.
2. not all people are watching this, not because they dont want to simply i for example if i didnt check the schedule and such stuff or even if it was advertise here on the general board or announcement board i didnt get quite the feel the excitement or idea when it wll be
3. time problem? you know when asia is sleeping the americans and the euro are awake?

what is best is to get a general room, wherein anytime we can join in at anytime of the day and there interact.

Sounds good. Although I also think trying a general chatroom could be cool too.

I think it would be fun if there's a chatbox in live games.

I think a chat could be very beneficial for newer players to get to ask questions and even for the more experienced players to discuss tactics and try and figure out how this game works. From games i have played in the past they have used NetGamers http://www.netgamers.org/. On Netgamers you can register a nick and a room such as #Buzzerbeater, they provide you with a bot who only gives Ops to those the founders have given permission to so the room itself can be very secure even if non of the admins are present.

I agree a built in chat would be easier for people but I also know games such as Planetarion have a link built into their toolbar which opens a browser window using java that brings users directly to the main room maybe something like that would be possible?
