Every time I see threads about IRC pug channels dying, I wonder about implementing an IRC widget right here on TFTV (think like a TFTV stream page, but instead of a twitch stream you have an embedded IRC chat with the various TF2 channels). I don't know much about coding so I can't speak to the amount of effort required, but IMO this would massively lower the "barrier to entry" and help keep the various pug channels alive and popular. If you really want to go nuts, you could have a ticker somewhere that reads the status of each pug channel every minute or so (number of players added, what classes required, etc.).

i mentioned this to enigma sometime before christmas and he said he'd look into it; never heard much back from him afterwards. i'm sure he's been busy.
this would be a great development and basically the only thing i personally see that would make IRC pugs relevant again.

might be better to put this in site discussions, too
