  How about WGT open p one new forum for games...heck...even open up many ...AS/MP-etc...a place where someone can post a message looking for players, agree on a time, and get it set up and play?

   

  No need for a new lobby, etc.

   

  I know WGT has the ability to do this..because they did open up some new forum topics in the past , like "winners circle"..etc...so how about it WGT?..

   

  No need to create a Lobby...just a new "thread Topic" where players can find a like-kind game!

  Easier solution for now.... pick a topic area you would like to start the thread and we can Sticky it so players can always find it.

  Does WGT, or have they ever, had an IRC channel?  A post forum is an okay idea, but it'd be hard to coordinate since it's not in "real-time".  If there were enough people for an IRC channel (or some other real-time external multi-user chat system), that'd be a way to execute rather immediate matchups between people who are in the room and waiting for a game.

  Yeah, or like an embedded shout box or something as mentioned, maybe this isn't desired by WGT at the moment.

  I've created a few free, easy chat rooms for WGT usage, and people can join with a click, but it would have to be a room everyone knows about and uses.

  Or, again; an embedded WGT shout box or other real time display would be teaming with players, no pun..

  I would prefer something like a shout box, but that may be a programming nightmare for WGT.  Also, they'd probably need someone on constant moderation purposes, as it has real potential for abuse.
