First idea is good and I'll more than likely do it later.
The post_bit would look too messy with that added, I like it as small as possible.

Then have it display only on profiles.

The live discussions take place in threads near the event. Hosting it on an IRC wouldn't do the site any good.

Thread discussions on realtime events are really ineffective for people to discuss every little thing that is happening. Having to wait for the page to load and read all the replies before replying to those, then realising 4 other people have replied while you were writing yours.

There's no reason why we can't create a channel on an already existing IRC server, then simply replace the countdown (mentioned in another thread) with the IRC connection info or a link to a browser based client.

I knew you'd want that since you're an IRC whore.

But live discussion threads normally happen like this:

*Event happens, no posts*
*Event finishes, everyone posts and discusses it*

And that happens throughout the show. There's never an issue with them, it does the site a whole load of good too. I think I'd prefer the amount of content/discussion we get with those threads to remain on site, rather than IRC. Even though it will break your heart.
