Not quite a site improvement but I didn't knew where else to post it.
I think there are a couple people left that remember the glorious IRC times. Maybe it is time to bring back a proper LPLive chat.
I thought a while about a proper solution since IRC is "ancient" technology for most people and to be honest, it's really not up to modern standards anymore. Good thing is, there are quite some modern "IRC replacements". One of them I use a lot is Slack: https://slack.com/
I am using it at work, for open source projects and for some other things and I had a great experience so far and I think it would fit perfectly for a LPLive chat. Maybe it could even be used across multiple fansites (e.g. LPAssociation) with own and shared channels.
If there would be interest, I would volunteer for setting up and administering a Slack team. Since Slack normally works per invitations, third party tools are needed so people can register themselves. I would also be glad to provide these tools and host them on my own cost.
So basically there is nothing you guys have to do, than posting a link :-D
