Alternative to global OOC chat

[oldfish]

Im not sure how hard this is to set up, but the minecraft server i was playing had a webpage IRC channel thing going where people could talk when server was down.

How about this instead of global ooc?

It would be useful to find groups, let people shoot the shit but at the same time wouldnt let the trolls like harrison shit up OOC with stuff like "quit the server already, its terrible anyway" and be the first thing people new to the server would see.
