I changed the topic title from "Goodbye to #roleplayerguild" to "Goodbye to #roleplayerguild IRC chat" to ward off confusion.

I've lurked in the chat since around the time it was created, and I've always appreciated the IRC channel's important role as a place to hang out that was distinctly separate from the Guild. I've often used the channel as a place to touch base with people without having to put on my admin hat, login to the forum, and catch up on actual work.

I appreciate the time and effort of Harsh and everyone else that kept the chat alive over the years. For instance, Harsh is responsible for putting in the nag effort that's often required to get me to do basic things like update a link on the homepage. :lol

It's nice to see [@Akami] post, finally filling in some history/trivia that I've wondered for years. :lol

Anyways, I see this announcement as an end to the more active and deliberate operation of the channel, not the end of it all. I'll still lurk there. :sun
