There's a reason for locality in communications.
And please don't point people to the forum for IC stuff. The forums have drained more than enough of the life-blood of the game, there is no need to support that trend further. You know, there was a time when there was more in-game communication than mailing-list talk. Today, I'm pretty sure more stuff is posted to the forum every day than in-game. Along with Dwilight, the forum was one of the mistakes that destroyed this game.
