1) create a group chat
2) post the name here so every user can join
3) see if other users prefer a non-public chat or dont give a fuck ...?
Letting people see the chat without making an account will draw more of them in. Chat is by far this forum's best feature and before(on SC 1.0) potential users would have no way of knowing it even existed, potentially turning them away. I think the current system is perfect, they can watch the conversations and are enticed to make an account in order to interact/voice an opinion.
