Ugh, I'm sure it all got updated last month. I'll look into it.

tehol would still smash you, even with the hands.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

My apologies, I forgot to look into this since your' and Macros' last posts. Unfortunately there is some bad news regarding the Chat module:
The Future of IPS Chat:
So it looks like IPS have decided to discontinue the Chat module from their services. I will consider replacing it with something else, but honestly aside from the odd drunk person wanting to chat, I haven't exactly seen much demand for the app. When it was just a case of paying the renewal fee that was fine, but finding and implementing an alternative could be a bridge too far if it's not going to be popular.
Though if it is popular I may end up just setting up a Discord server for the site. But we'll have to check how many people are actually interested in using chat on the site/third party app frequently.

We'd like to let you know about a change that impacts users of the IPS Chat service.
As the IPS4 platform continues to evolve, we are constantly reviewing our product and service lineup to ensure the products remain relevant in relation to market demand. Chat service is one area in which we’ve seen a noticeable decline in terms of popularity. Some clients have asked for us to further modernize the chat service and add more features. Other clients have asked that we retire the chat service to better focus our resources on the rest of the suite. After many discussions with other chat providers, engaging the community and our own internal discussion and research, we have decided to retire the IPS chat service effective 1 May 2017 (EDT). Existing clients, including those using the free version, will continue to be able to use the service until that date.
As always, we appreciate your support and business. We are looking forward to using this as an opportunity to further enhance the rest of the Community Suite.

Discord isn't a bad idea actually. It can be used from a phone via the app.

But it would require a New Zealander to actually do, you know, some work. Effort might even be required.

Totally unfair. But just waaaayyyy too good to pass up the opportunity.

What kind of work would the poor New Zealander have to do?
I just made a hypothetical Discord server after noticing the chat is down. All Silencer would have to do would be to make the 'chat' button redirect people to that (or any other) channel. (and it's important to let people know it's going to be external, but it's not much work if people want it)

Anyone can click on the link and go to a 'malazan' discord channel.

Oh I'd totally do it. But it seems like literally no one actually wants it considering it took several months for anyone to complain the chat was down, and it's been another couple since anyone brought it up. XD
But yes, setting up a Discord server isn't a lot of work or getting the chat button to redirect.
