Hey everyone, so this is an idea that I pitched to Elite a while ago and I wanted to know what the rest of you thought of it.

Basically, it's a website/program called Slack and it's a private chatroom platform which has loads of advantages over the wiki's chat that we currently use, like the fact that you can set up bots, plugins and do a lot more with coding as well as being able to see when someone is typing, have private groups, seperate channels etc. I also carries over some features of the wiki's chat currently like direct messages, customizeable themes and text etc. The only problem I can currently see with it is that it requires a person's email address in order to invite them to the channel.

If you want to try it out before passing judgement, send me a Private Message on my Twitter (@ShadowAuraInnes) and I'll send you an invite to the one I've already set up.

Let me know what you think about it and if you think it'll be a good alternative (not replacement) to the wiki's chat.
