Best way to record a game chat?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone would know the best way to record a games chat history? I would like to record what everyone says and then be able to go back and see the history. I know how I am going to store it, I am going to use trello to store the chat history and just have a new card for each game instance. What would be the best way to actually record what all the players are saying?

Thank you,

Anthony

Note - I am not adding a card per chat, I am going to be adding a card per game and when someone chats it would make a new comment. I was wondering if anyone had a better idea of saving chats for a game that I would be able to view.

Just a precaution, adding a trello card per message sent in your game's chat will very likely slow it down massively... My personal suggestion would be to not use Trello.

It would not be a card for each chat, it would be a card for each game and each chat would be a comment.

Suggest using google docs Excel instead.

Save it using a data store, if you need help, follow this guide https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/25774/simple-datastore-introduction

Using data stores, help here, you could store chat history like this:

> ServerInstance
	> AlphaGamer150
		> Hi Guys
	> User
		> Hi alpha

> DifferentServerInstance
	> User
		> HI!
