Another thing that kinda annoys me tn with you pushing irc so much right now, is that when I used to offer an irc server back when we had that player.me group chat. I was literally the only person on it after a week or two. Now you're pushing for one here, but you weren't using it anymore than anyone else, which kinda makes me continue thinking that all the irc shit you're doing is pretty much nostalgia for irc from when it was the shit.
Otherwise, I kinda agree with Saikou, considering there are arguments being placed around, there is the possibility that some people might have voted first, and then as the arguments flow, might wish to change their position on which platform they want, and considering there isn't a "change vote" button, they can't do so, and their votes are stuck where they were first cast.
Either way, that doesn't change the fact that I'm not going on IRC. It's taking a step backwards rather than forward. Sure Discord has issues right now, but it's in constant development, in fact you could say it's more like an alpha version currently than an actually release version, which explains some bugs and issues from time to time.
And that's the last thing I'll say about this thing. Knowing how inactive I usually am on the forums, I might just be seen even less with this "move to irc" thing. See you.
