Would anyone be interested in joining a Slack group specifically for Geekzoners?
In short, its like IRC, but with less anonymity and more gif support. https://slack.com/

What purpose would it serve over and above what's already available?
It's like IRC but the app is crashy and awful and so are the servers... so basically like IRC but worse
We used to have an IRC channel and it was quite busy. I will create a Slack channel and publicise soon.

If you don't feel like manually inviting people, you can set up something like this -> https://github.com/outsideris/slack-invite-automation
Ask me about Web Servers, Wordpress and the internet in general.
Whats wrong with IRC? It appears to be good enough for Mr Robot.
I didn't even know you had a channel in the past. You could just make a channel on Undernet or Efnet, you don't even need to set up a server. Slack is OK, we use it at work, the app is terrible I just use Franz and it uses the web interface as a client.
Nothing wrong with IRC. We actually had a channel for years and epic meetups with hundreds of people online. Slowly though things got tired and people started moving to other things to do.

Yes, unless I make it an automated thing - which needs a bit of coding. Stay tuned.

I have nothing to do tonight if you want me to put something together. Just need API details...

Thanks for the offer. I will thinking of making a page on Geekzone itself - hence .asp code needed. I will do something tonight and see how it goes. Back soon.

Ok, code is done but I have a question before I release it.
I am coding so that only Geekzone users access the page. I am filling the email with Geekzone email address. Should I make this field read-only or people would like to be able to use other addresses?
