What would the citizens of Taijitu think about registering an IRC channel for the Aniane Memorial Lecture Hall? In events like the World Fair, speakers would, when scheduled to give a lecture, give it in an IRC channel like, say, #auditoriumone, then take questions about it in real time from people waiting in the channel. Usually, to prevent disruptions, the operators of the channel would make it +m so that only those with voice privileges could speak during the lecture itself.
After the lecture was given, the transcript and maybe some questions and their answers would be posted in the forum. The channel would serve as a supplement, not a replacement. Speakers could still give lectures and take questions the old-fashioned way, through posts on the forum, if they so desired. The channel would have the Dean and probably the channel owner as ops, as a matter of course. It could be named #anianehall or something like that, though granted that exact name sounds kind of like an Asylum ripoff of a Woody Allen film.
Comments or concerns about this idea?
