 +## Online

 +### Slack (chat) 
 + 
 +Slack is our realtime chat platform, similar to IRC. A lot of the more casual, temporary, and in-the-moment organizing, socializing, and discussion at VHS happens on Slack.   
 +To join our Slack community, send yourself an invite from the [Get Involved](https://membership.vanhack.ca/#/getinvolved/) tab on [membership.vanhack.ca](https://membership.vanhack.ca). 
 + 
 +### Talk (forums) 
 + 
 +[Talk](https://talk.vanhack.ca) is the main hub of our community. A much more permanent record than slack, and with the ability to reach the entire VHS community. Not every member is on slack, but every member is on Talk. This is where our general meetings are organized, committee reports are filed, and raffles, polls, project planning, etc. happens.
  
-- [VHS Talk (forum/mailing list)](https://talk.vanhack.ca) - the easiest way to keep up to date on member discussions and upcoming events.  
-- [Slack (members only)](https://vanhack.slack.com/) - Slack is somewhat similar to IRC, and has replaced our IRC channel as our official member-chat medium. To get on the VHS slack, you can send yourself an invite from the [Get Involved](https://membership.vanhack.ca/#/getinvolved/) tab on [membership.vanhack.ca](https://membership.vanhack.ca).
