Has anyone ever thrown together an IRC chatroom for this place?

Duh.  Yeah, I went dumb.

Man, do people even use that?  I remember going in there night night the Rev controller was being released and I got flamed for actually asking if anyone was discussing it....

[UncleBob]

Well, I'm in there now...there's a number of people in there, however no one is talking and no one seems interested in talking.

Perhaps it's just me though.

Heh, our fair Planet Chat is mainly used for Planet/Radio Trivia.

The real action is in the elite half dozen spinoff channels

The hassle of dealing wtih IRC isn't quite worth the complete boredom you get while in the chat.

Uh, I mean, elite channels

The problem with the chat is that the PCG community just isn't large enough to support one.  (That's actually a good thing, I think.)  It's much more effective to post in the discussion board so everyone can see than try to have a conversation in the chat room with just a couple others.  Ideas are generally more fleshed out when they're on a discussion board.

It would still be nice to have a chat on the BIG nights... like the Rev unveiling...  We all know how hard the forums were to keep up on that night.

You know what PGC should have? Official chat times. Like, Every Wednesday night from 8-10 EST could be offcial Revolution discussion time, with an announcement on the main page and everything.

And then they could publish it... it could be blahblahblah+1... =)
