Except that we sometimes misuse it as a forum. I agree, it's a chat board.

I don't want to fracture the system. I don't want to suggest we need both a forum and a chat board. I like the immediacy of the chat board. But we can maybe bend reality and bring in some forum-like functionality.

I'm not really talking about modifying ST itself. Just trying to create a revenue stream for me with separate installs (like the ika board). - Beryllium Jan 18, 16:28 20

      - That's good, because since my years of doing phone support, I've degenerated in the Bastard Operator From Hell. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 16:50
  - Yes. And as I've learned from work *last* week, forum users are the most demanding. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 16:33 7

- You would think you'd need to cater to a slightly older demographic. People who miss a simpler Internet or whatever. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 16:29 7
  - Maybe we can make a "what is SlackerTalk" video to advertise it. lol -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 16:30 6
