Freenode and OFTC exist to serve free/open-source projects and any communities associated with them. We aren't, at the core, one of those communities, so I don't think we ought to.

Question is where to host it. I ran one on the Irctoo network for a while as a proof-of-concept... there was some curiosity but nothing stuck. Imo, it would be better to have a channel on our own server and domain. So it depends what turns out with our hosting situation.

Internet Relay Chat

The grand daddy of IM (instant messaging)

And P2P downloads...

What's an IRC channel?

We've talked about that actually. I even figured out what times would be good for official chats I was thinking of it more as a fun thing but urgent problems would be a good use for it too.

There are two options - setting up an IRC channel (not sure how to do that), or a vBulletin plugin (will have to wait until we get control of the server).

I saw a webpage which offers this type of channel for free, its based on flash and PHP combo... I forgot the name...
