I'm curious how many people here have ever used IRC. It's basically like instant messenger but really old technology, still very popular among more experienced computer users.
I'm asking because I've thought about connecting the chat room that's on the main page of the forum to a real IRC server. This way people who would rather use an IRC client could do that. You would be able to chat via the web form as it is now or login via an IRC client. There are even a bunch of instant messenger clients that also support IRC (Pidgin, ICQ, etc).
