Planned Rooms & Partners; Channels that are planned

Below is a list of all the rooms I currently have planned for the site. Keep in mind that I will be separating them into "site" and "partner" rooms. The site rooms are one that are directly operated by the site, whereas the partner rooms are rooms that are operated by other sites (admittedly ones that I own) that have taken over the function of what would otherwise be site rooms.

What this ultimately means is that instead of just being able to be accessible through the chat site interface (outside of dedicated clients), there will also be access to it from the partner's website too. Additionally, the internal management of those rooms are operated independently of the chat site which means that site staff cannot get involved in room-level disputes, except in circumstances where site staff have to directly be involved. Because of the way the rooms are operated, bans that are issued within the rooms covered by partners cannot be appealed to nder normal channels; you must appeal to the staff of the partner site instead. Network staff will not remove bans from partner channels, unless they have issued them themselves.

Additionally, those banned from partner rooms are only banned from rooms operated by that partner, so the user can visit other channels. However, if a user is making a nuisance of themselves across multiple site or partner rooms, they can be banned by the network staff and denied access to the site. Whilst it's envisaged this will rarely happen (or at least I hope so!), it is being mentioned here in the interests of disclosure.

Additionally, keep in mind as these are all my websites and I'm just essentially just doubling things up (it seems silly to have a separate gaming chat room only for the site when I have a gaming site that I can combine things with), I will have the final authority, but I will apply only the guidelines are rules that apply to the website, unless I otherwise need to step in as site staff. It should be noted that I do not allow my position as chat site owner/admin to conflict with my management of non-site rooms.

With all this in mind, the rooms will be listed in the following posts under the following headings:

Site - Rooms that are not core rooms but belong to the site, and either will be here from the start or will be added later. Additionally, certain rooms are designated "Core" as they will always be accessible and/or provisioned for. They shall be marked with a * to indicate this.
Partner - Partner rooms
User - User rooms, if any pop up in the pre-Beta. These rooms (provided they are registered when Services are brought up) will be listed in a special section on the website as user rooms are not displayed on the list due to the way this site is to be operated; the term for user rooms collectively are the "Chat Underground".

[Site]
#Chat / 16+ - General chat room
#ChillBar / 18+ - A place to chill
#Help* / Unrated - One stop shop for support from site and partner site staff; will always be occupied with one site staff member and at least one rep from each partner site.

[Partner]
#Alt (AN) / 18+ - For alternative lifestyles, such as goth, punk, rock, and the like.
#Gamed-Up / 16+ (GU) - Gaming chat: discuss all types of gaming, be it board, computer/video or tabletop. With enough demand this will be sub-divided into computer/video and board/tabletop. This not does preclude rooms for more dedicated gaming communities, if so desired, but they will generally be user-operated channels.
#Geared-Up / 16+ (GU) - Chat about electronic hardware in general here. If you want to talk about more advanced stuff such as programming, hacking and modding, join #Tech-Guild.
#Geeked-Up / 16+ (GU) - Chat all geek stuff not related to computers or any types of gaming.
#Radio / 16+ (ShM) - Room to discuss Stormhaven Radio and communicate with DJs.
#Tech-Guild / 16+ (GU) - Programming, hacking and modding hardware chat. Talk about consoles, mobile devices/tablets, computers and anything else that is hackable or moddable.

[User]
None Yet.

[Possible future rooms]
#Film_TV - Discuss films and TV shows here. Again, dedicated communities may show up for a TV series but they will be user-rooms.
#Music - Discuss everything to do with music here.
#Music_Makers - If you're interested in the art of creating music, you can discuss things here.

There might also be provision for country-based chat rooms, but general topic-based rooms are top of the list for now. Additionally, there may be provision age-themed rooms too, depending on demand.

If you want to suggest any rooms, you can do so below, but I will need the agreement of at least 3 people total (increasing to 5 and 10 in the future) people if you propose it to be an official site room. User channels are not required to have a minimum threshold to set up.
