Wilson, please shout if you want to take ownership of this new Slack channel. Happy to hand it over. I just got back from #JNUC2015 and was mesmerized at how incredibly popular Slack is. Doesn't take away from your existing forum, but gives chat room style functionality that can link back to AZBilliards.
