League Chat

Post by SpartansGM » Tue Jun 16, 2015 3:32 pm

Hey guys,

It was originally my intent to have a group chat in AIM. It is a free app on mostly all smart phones, it links to Trillian (which I use at work ;) ), and most of us already have an AIM account from another league. Another discussion app has been brought to my attention called Slack, which comes highly recommended. It seems as though it has it's own windows and mac apps, and can be accessed from smartphones as well. I'm unfamiliar with it but am open to letting you guys decide what seems best. Either way, I'd really like to have ALL of us in a group chat for facilitating league discussions, trades, and tons of smack.

we switched from AIM to slack in the league RDBL last season, and I feel like both communication and volume of trades has ~doubled since. Everyone there seems quite happy with it.

I'm also happy to volunteer to set-up and maintain the team account (its free to set-up and use) if the commish wants the assistance.

I'll agree with that assessment. I like it and it is available as an app on my iphone, too.

Yup. Good to see you, especially in another division. That last 3 game sweep hurt, I think my guys lost a little momentum there.
