-**Want to [[edit this wiki]]?**+[[https://vanhack.slack.com/|Slack]] - Slack is somewhat similar to IRC, and has replaced our IRC channel as our official member-chat medium. Unfortunately you need to be invited by one of the current admins to get access to it - that's slack.com's requirement, not ours. Information on how to do that can be found on [[https://talk.vanhack.ca/t/vhs-irc-and-slack/1318|the VHS Talk forum]]
  
 +<sub>And at some point, we will start using [[https://discord.gg/btcM34d|A VHS Discord]] because it isn't the 90's and no one knows what IRC is anymore.</sub>
