With contributions from Technobliterator, it has been considered to set up a channel on Discord https://discordapp.com/.

This is not to say that we're emigrating from the IRC. Techno is willing to investigate programming the IRC infobot to relay messages between Discord and the main IRC channel. So what does the Discord channel offer so far?


 * Six channels:
 * A primary one
 * One for politics
 * One for economics
 * one for religion and philosophy
 * One for anything not quite PG-13
 * An argument channel
 * Five Voice Channels
 * A primary one
 * Two for gaming
 * Two for fiction discussion

For those registered with Discord, all these text channels are opt-in. If you don't care for the subject, you can just ignore the channel. If you're not comfortable with this or the sound of your own voice, you don't have to be in any of the voice channels.

Also for Discord users: When you sign to the channel in there's no repeated signing in required and chat logs are recorded on a dedicated server so you never have to miss a thing. Activate the client and boom, you're in!

We are open to feedback on how to fine-tune this channel so any suggestions are welcome. For now, the code to be invited to the channel can be provided by people linked to the channel.
