    There are number of in-client methods of player communication and community building, and I suggest we make the most of them, as well as potentially an IRC channel.
    Someone who knows more about IRC stuff than me should probably make an IrishMOBA channel on Quakenet, and in the meantime, I would suggest using the LoL client's in-built chatroom function to make and join Boards.ie on start-up, and a Dota 2 guild as well.

    (small edit: there may also be some of these already present for the Irish scene, I know theres a pretty big IrishLoL channel that has a lot of Irish players in it)

    I can't speak for the other games, since I'm not familiar with them, but does this seem like a good course of action to take for the boards community?

    People really need to use the guild chat more in dota and everything would be fine. I'm guilty of it myself. Or else I think we should all add each other and spam requests for now :p
    Most people that I know play don't use IRC any more, the chat is basically that and automatic

    Worth remembering there is a cross of games here, not everyone is on DOTA ;)

    As far as I understand LoL has the same chatroom functionality.
    I don't realistically see a younger generation using IRC any more.

    It's certainly worth having a sticky with a web client in teh first post if people think this is the way to go.
