JWe did have an IRC channel for some time, I'm not sure where - I was there once or twice. I would help and create one, but I currently cannot access IRC except for a few moments during weekends. However this might change soon, and if I get proper internet connection at home, I'll create another channel for it. I think it'd cool to be able to talk with some of you guys in real time.
Meanwhile, whoever created that non-official IRC channel, are you still there? Do you remember where it was and what it was called?
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering
IRC is good, but there is the potential for other problems as well, like lurkers and trolls who don't belong there. What about some type of IM clients? If we knew eachother's screen names, we wouldn't even have to sign onto the web. Plus, there's more control involved.
