integrating additional methods of interacting to kiastinger.org

Howdy,

Not sure who the sysadmin is, but I was thinking it might be pretty cool to integrate say slack, or even better rocketchat(opensource) -- back in the day when I was a member of SOGI(supra owners group) we had an irc client integrated into the site so we could sit around and shoot the breeze, it was pretty neat. what does everyone think?

We do have forum chat enabled on the forum and you can access it here https://www.kiastinger.org/forum/forum-chat.php

I just haven't thought of a good way to link it from the forum page. Any idea how the other group did it?

What's the underlying framework/content management system that takes care of the site and/or forums if there are two separate ones, or is the site content static? Should be able to just add it to the main menu or something pretty easily.

Sorry I meant integrating it better to the main forum page so that it gets more activity. I can definitely add a link at the top nav. Is that how the Supra forums did it was add a link to the chat page?

Yea, that is how they had done it, except it was an web based irc client, this situation is a bit different I see what you're saying. There are a few ways to go about integration

Thanks, added the link the submenu right below the top nav.

I like it, now we just need to hire a marketing crew to get the word out.
