It's me again, hello and hi.
I've always thought of Obsidian as of a community-driven studio of awesomeness. Then I think of Crate, which also is a community-driven studio, but I think they went a little further with it and that's advertising IRC channel on their forums. Things can be discussed there much faster and there even is a dev or two who sometimes even pay attention. The community is healthily growing, thinking of ideas that wouldn't be possible without an instant messaging chat and having more 'immediate' fun.
I know there is the "ObsidianOrderOfEternity" channel, but that one's mostly dead and I'm personally not that fond of the whole "Order of Eternity" thing... I think it would be nice to have some place to hang out, discuss things related or not so related and if that place was advertised here and managed by trusted members or even forum mods, no?
Also, I'm a bit of an IRC addict, hence my persistence about this. Sorry about that :3
