Post your ideas here....
Naturally I would like OPs status, along with Pierre, Helmut, Dreamer and others.

I like the idea, i have asked Pierre few days ago about that. The thing is... make own irc server (easy to do, i can do that on few minutes), or use a existing irc network.

Advantages of using an existing server: Many people would already have registered nicks (especially on a large network) and might therefore be more willing to join, and we'd get more "walk in" visitors.
Advatages of making our own server: No nicks would already be taken, we wouldn't have to worry about server splits, fewer spammers.

I generally use trillian and mirc for IRC. Trillian is more convenient, but mirc has more/better features.
A couple other popular IRC progs are
www.xchat.org and
www.icechat.net
