Hello. Most people reading this probably don't have a clue who I am but I'm a new member to Outbreak and seeing as new members are encouraged to get involved in the community I'm bringing forward a suggestion.
I was part of a very small gaming community (Tended to be around 30 regulars who contributed) for approx.4 years. We had an IRC channel that was actually linked to the ingame chat and it worked very well, meaning people that didn't have time to play could pop in and say something. It also was very handy for when people were abroad and without a PC. (Could use an IRC client on their mobile)
I'm not suggesting Outbreak link an IRC to CS;GO(If that's even possible) but I think it would allow for good text based discussion between the community. Currently the only ways to do that are to try use ingame chat (RIP) or have a forum topic (Which doesn't allow you to have an instant conversation with people)
If whoever would be responsible for making this decision (presumably Sir_Conor) decides this is a good idea, I would suggest having a web IRC embedded in the same row as "Home, FAQ, Members, etc.
Please leave any feedback you guys and gals have. I'm interested to see if you guys like the idea and feel free to ask any questions if I've shoddily explained anything.
Thank you if you got this far, apologies for the massive amount of text.
TL;DR: IRC would be an asset to the community
