Interesting... above my pay scale, but I'm sure I could enjoy it as a user... I love MRC, and use it. I've always been a fan of IRC, and have used it over the decades for many different things. I'm also on the Discord bandwagon.. because its awesome, and feature-rich....

I'd love some text based chat that had better features than IRC, or MRC... altho both of those work for what I need. My wants, tho... would be Discord-level features, with encryption in a text mode chat service. 

Thanks for turning me on to Cabal, although I don't know if I'll be able to implement it anywhere worthwhile.
