Summary	0005253: Some kind of in-game message board for multiplayer
Description	I was thinking it would be useful for multiplayer if there was some kind of board found in settlements where people could post messages for other people to see later. It could be useful for planning and organising too so people could post a message saying they're going to do something at a certain time. Maybe even some kind of basic "in-game" forum would be interesting to have.

D: The popup window thing is pretty awful, as opposed to just a semi-transparent line-sized text editor that most other games would use. :D The chat appearing in the message log, while in a different spot than most of us are used to seeing (the lower left corner), is in a logical place; although it sometimes gets lost in the jumble of messages. But that popup window just makes me sad :'D My sister and I play in the same room to circumvent even having to use it; she needs to get a microphone for skype, but still! A message board thing would be handy as a way to get around the slightly clunky chat interface.
