I don't know where the best place to put this would be, so if its in the wrong area I apologize humbly.

I was recently chatting with my FC about setting up external forums for news and communication. The company board really allows me about a tweet's worth of info, which feels limited. I know on the lodestone that there is a forum specific to FCs but I doubt a lot are used because they are kind of hidden.

It would be nice if we could access these Free Company forums from in-game, maybe from the FC Menu. It would make communicating with people in different timezones in the same FC a tad easier, in my opinion; one wouldn't have to hope one catches someone to ask for something to be crafted or for advice or something, and one would have a much easier time connecting to higher powers within the FC.

FC Leaders would also probably have an easier time communicating with the company itself, as well as raid leaders and event planners. Yes, there are external methods to carry this out; there is the Free Company forums on the lodestone itself, and there is the option of going to Enjin or something...but you run into the same problem as with these forums: if it's not in-game, not everyone has easy access to it*.

*In this case, "easy access" I'll define as "able to be accessed without having to leave the client".
