We now have an IRC channel for the CP. This is a place where we can bounce ideas back and forth between people.
The information is thus:
Server: irc.gamesurge.net:6667
Channel: #bz2cp
Before joining, please go to http://www.gamesurge.net/createaccount/ (http://www.gamesurge.net/createaccount/) and create a profile, preferably with your BZU username.
Follow the directions given to you by Gamesurge in the activation of your account and how to log into the IRC server.
Please get a discrete IRC client. Mibbit has been G-lined (Permabanned) on Gamesurge. If worst comes to worst, you can go into BZ2 in any of the 1.3 patches, go into multiplayer, click chat, then once you're in the BZ2 channel, type /join #bz2cp
A good general client to use would be either Miranda IM or Pidgin.
Note: I am currently the only moderator for this channel. At times I am away, I may appoint a person who's online at the time to work in my stead. Also note that I own this channel. Therefore I reserve the right to kick for stupidity or mute the channel so as to stop arguments.
EDIT: We also now can use a Teamspeak, here's a banner with the info needed to join.

If you are interested in helping with anything, please at least try to make your presence known in the IRC channel.
It's a good place to hold a conversation.
I can make a permanent teamspeak server if anyone would like that idea. I'll assign administrators based on how they are known on these forums.
Anyone for this?
I've created a teamspeak server if anyone would like to help expand this idea.
people with teamspeak pre-installed, copy this link to your web browser and press enter. (SMF restricts this type of link from being clicked on)
teamspeak://74.92.252.193:8767?nickname=I clicked a link!?loginname=?password=
otherwise, download teamspeak at http://goteamspeak.com , and install the client. You can use this link to connect.
If you have any questions as far as using the interface of teamspeak, you can PM me here on these boards or e-mail me at Ethan@ExpertPCAdvice.com

Does anyone use this?
If people show enough of an interest in also using the TS, I'll use it, as well.
We also don't know how many people have headsets (or are allowed to use voip programs), so the IRC may be a better choice in the long run. It is, however, completely up to you.
