### Post:

Hey there, so in regards to the failure of the slack chat-room to take off. Figured I'd set up an irc channel (#reddit-rational) over on freenode. If you don't know how to use an irc client, there's a web client over at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=reddit-rational that will take you right to the channel.
