Such a shame, but also much better for a lot of grades/bosses I'd reckon.

i feel a live chat installed on the mainpage, like used on the bbtactics forum, would be used more..
but 8 in the morning might simply not be the best time for bb chats :)

On the main page? hmmm

it could be maybe too much with the blog activities on the mainpage aswell (which i enjoy) but much more visible and making spontaneous chatting more likely.
what really would change the chatsituation is cyanide closing internet support for bloodbowl 1 and bloodbowl 2 becoming a catastrophy that drives the masses to fumbbl.

that still wouldn't do much for IRC as it is now I think.

For starters I think an implemented chat client would help. Saves the lean coach the necessity to search and install a working client.
It doenst need to be a fullchat on the frontpage like on bbtactis, a simple image like the actual Support button would be enough. Instead the Goblin show a Chatballon and text eg. 'CHAT ON FUMBBL'.

Chat was very active when it was used to find a match (before the new and practical gamefinder, before blackbox... and before Cyanide).
That makes a lot of things to decrease its use.
But some specific channels are still very active (french one, at least).

I'll have a look at implementing it on mainpage but for this I still have to master the other part of the settings menu Christer installed. I do not yet really understand how it works, but it will be the next thing I'm looking into and allowing a dynamically displayed chat on the main page.

go for it. i am sure there are plugins etc that enable this. https://kiwiirc.com/embedding

A discussion about this topic with input from Christer was recently held here;

I wouldn't mind seeing some chat on the gamefinder page myself. Thanks for looking into it.

Gamefinder with chat:

that's even better

Embedding yeah... the problem with the content of the main page is that it is all dynamically placed. That means I don't know what coach is displaying what piece of his page where.
The only information about this comes from the settings menu. I assume from there calls and requests are made to the server to handle the layout. For me the question arises whether I can add my own Elements in the middle of that without interfering with the server
