Yup... fair enough..
I can offer the service to you free of charge at the moment as before, so it doesn't really matter to us if you decide to stick with your existing chat service, but was more interested in if there was a reason, which there clearly wasn't... just want to provide the best service possible to users and feedback is the best way init..
by all means have a poll on whether you want to have the irc chat service resumed.. if so, then I can make it so (as captain picard would say, so I have heard).
Contact me about the GFB too Si..!!
