This goes even further when you start to think about SC2SEA.com as a giant divide between other Australian eSports. How people do you truly know from League of Legends, Call of Duty or Counter-Strike and other scenes?
I think this IRC is a good initiative but with chat there are certain limitations, like it being hard to follow / read topics anytime you want - which is why forums are so popular. There needs to be a proper web platform that unites all these gamers from the different communities and if anyone wants to help me with the running of these portals let me know! I have always wanted to expand sc2sea but just never had the capable manpower who respected other games and shared this vision.

I agree! That is the direction that I was looking to go in with the IRC - gamers from the different communities can come together in an informal environment and hang out. On the first day we've had a max amount of clients at 33.
All it takes is everyone remembering to open up mIRC or their favourite IRC client every day. If everyone remembers / gets involved in can be really a good thing.
