Background Work

This stuff isn't live yet but we're currently in the process of rewriting login and authentication systems to support alternative sources, i.e. a mobile app or steam client. It hasn't been looked at since porting the original pre-refactor implementation to the refactor, so it's great pain to work on.

Oh, and Season 2 Ironman gets its own chat channel. Woo!
