So what you're saying is, Slack works great as long as you're willing to perform some 'uber geekery'? ;)

How do you think open source projects have preserved message history on the existing open source alternatives discussed in this thread (IRC & Jabber)? You set up & maintain your own logging bots.

I don't know if I'd consider that 'uber geekery'... it's just setting up an IRC client - they provide instructions on the slack website.
