Download is an issue, the security hole of IRC is another to consider.

But for me I cannot sit in that chat windows 24 hours x 7 days, so that I am there when the news get passed over. I need to be able to get that news, when I do have time to sit and read.

Plus in theirc ... I have sat there a few time. Have you noticed that half (if not 3 quaters)of what is there is outside gametopics and/or bragging and/or whinnings.

No IRC ... is and should be a on the spot help tools & crisis center.
I too have logged into the IRC channel ... a number of times, and NOT ONCE has anything on that chat channel been anything more than off topic ... I think a regular forum post is necessary especially as this is the "official" "community forum"
