Does anyone use #slack messaging? https://slack.com/

Think IRC on steroids, completely searchable content, user profiles, notifications, mentions, emoticons, archive, slick web and client interface.

Would be awesome if OCUK set a team up for members, with a channel structure that mirrors the forum topics!

What?

On Holiday · 6 Feb 2016 at 02:11

Yes, I use it.

It'd be pointless for overclockers. May as well start spamming away in TIAM again.

Yes for work. Integrated with many server goodies

No medical threads. (but you may need a colonoscopy)

grudas · 6 Feb 2016 at 10:37

yeah for work we do but why would you need one for a forum? it would just separate the community and that'd be it.

You may want to look at Cisco Spark its free, only downside the "virtual rooms" are not publicly listed so anyone can see and join you have to be invited to the rooms by others. Its still relativley new so this could always come in later.

I'm in a few good slack groups, SCCM, Powershell and other generally technical ones, it's just a modern IRC to me and I still use them too.

I think it would complement it, but would be very hard to moderate.

He's suggesting by your topic title, that your back door has taken some abuse and therefore isn't quite as tight as it should be i.e hashtag slack yolo el oh el roflmao etc etc

How amusing.

ZeroG · 6 Feb 2016 at 21:25

I use it daily, it's a great collaboration and communication tool.
