    I've looked at Discord before but don't like the fact that they don't offer a self hosted option. That's why I still use mumble at home for my personal needs with friends.
    It's fine to offer the hosted version, but to not offer the option to host it yourself seems crazy to me. I think they're worried about the ability to sell add ons to the users, which they lose if they aren't hosting it.

    If the community would prefer it however, I would be willing to setup and integrate.

    I actually use Slack for my website, @DarkDragon . It's really nice, but I think it's closer to like a business thing and not really gaming oriented? At least that's how it was advertised to me.

    I'm not sure why self hosting is a need these days, but I guess having more granular control over something like that is always nice. I only suggest Discord because I'm in it for various other gaming groups already, and adding an AGN channel would be an easy excuse for me to interact with this site more often again.
