Why don't we just use the Steam Community group chat as opposed to IRC? Its a lot easier for people to use (especially if they aren't familiar with IRC).

 

Isnt this what Chat Box on the forums is for?

For under-13 members... don't ask, don't tell.

 

Nobody will ask you your real age....but if you brag about it, we have to follow the COPPA rules as mentioned at coppa.org .

This should only apply to the forums, and not the servers. The servers technically not collecting any info that would violate COPPA, but the forums are. Eh.

 

It applies to the servers..since it's located in US.

 

Why on Earth will anyone need to tell his/her age while playing a game?

 

RE: Right.

 

I meant, will it be like "oh, someone has a squeaky voice", then they get harassed with questions "how old are you", etc., thus incriminating themselves. Eh.

because steam doesn't have:

autojoin

reconnecting

isn't binded on steam

doesn't require massive resources

has proper admin control without having to make people admins on steam groups

has good scripts that can report server uptime/downtime

sourceirc can be implemented

sourcebans can be implemented

etc

 

steam chat sucks. irc is the bomb.
