>>327 What's stupid about that idea? As >>324 mentioned - the irc would inevitably siphon some posts that would be made here and would likely decrease overall activity. We could disagree about if this would lead to the board's death (where do you even draw that line?), but it seems pretty obvious to me that this would reduce the overall level of activity.
Maybe you weren't here but this was tried (with discord and matrix) in the early days of the board. Somehow it seemed to make more sense then because n0 had shutdown his discord server and this site was to be its replacement, which ultimately led some to want to reclaim a type of live-chat group for the people who had been members of the original discord server. Ultimately this server and its matrix spinoff both fell out of use a bit more than a year ago.
