I beg to differ. I just managed to mess up the voting on the IRC
channel thing by accidentally starting a new thread. Sorry for that.
Also, I managed to use two names there on the mailing list. From now
on, I'll be working under the name 'MD'. :)

If we had a forum, stuff like that wouldn't happen. :D You can make a
forum send emails when a certain thread has been replied to, so anyone
especially fond of mailing lists wouldn't be inconvenienced, although
they would have to visit the forum to reply. I don't see much of a
problem with that, tbh. It was also mean there were fewer problems
with quoting and thread stucture.

As for the IRC thing, whats the delay? It wouldn't take two minutes to
set one up on a public server.
