I don't know how complicated it is to set up an IRC server, but I thought it would be kind of neat to have one for the site. It would make it a little easier for people here to talk to each other and hopefully filter out some of the spam-ish stuff that gets posted in the forums. If it's possible, I think it would be a nice addition to the site.
Just a thought...

Not a bad idea. We could also use the Detonator messenger...
Which hasn't had any activity in like a month. >_>

Just pick some IRC network where the admins aren't jerks, and register the channels with the local ChanServ. No need to set up a server just for us.
Heck, I'll do it when I get home in ~8 hours if nobody else does.

I just thought it would be better to have a server that we would be able to maintain and stuff. I also thought it would be a good idea to have it implemented into the site
Having a user friendly irc webclient in the website would be good for the people who aren't exactly experts with irc and stuff.

It takes 10 minutes to figure out how to use IRC, and that includes finding and installing a client.
If any of you guys are using Pidgin or Gaim, you already have an IRC client.
There's a Java client that Al could look up and configure/host.
People just chatting don't need to actually know anything about using IRC. It's just the people running the channel that need to know IRC at least a bit.
Having a server that "we" (Al) maintain would just mean more work for him. It'd be simpler to just have a channel on an established server. That's leaving out the issue of finding a host willing to allow an IRC server.

I just remember people bitching about not wanting to deal with IRC clients and stuff in the Detonator thread.

Which will probably happen here too. IRC clients aren't more complex to use than messenger clients though, (for doing simple stuff), so those that prefer not to deal with them can simply not join the IRC channel. Having a client "integrated" into the site only changes the complexity of installing it, not the complexity of using it.

Okay, I've been lazy, but I set up two channels. IRC server is irc.rizon.net. #ziv is the main channel please only use english in it, #ziv-indo is the channel for Indonesian users to speak their language in.
If you have Gaim/Pidgin, the steps to join are simple.
Open the Accounts window by hitting Ctrl-A at the Buddy List window.
Click the Add button.
Pick "IRC" from the list next to Protocol.
Enter your nickname in the Username field.
Change the server field to "irc.rizon.net".
Ignore the password field.
Hit Save.
At this point, NickServ (a service that controls who gets what nicknames, to prevent impersonation) will probably message you telling you to register your nick name (or change to a different one if you picked one that's registered by someone). You can either ignore it and not register your nick, or read all the things it says, use the help command, and stuff and register your nick.
Anway, to join the channel, from the nickserv window, type "/j #ziv" to join the main channel. J stands for join, of course, and "#ziv" is the name of the channel, so you should be able to figure out how to join #ziv-indo easily.
I'll help out more after I finish dancing for the night.

Uhm....
I think a flash-based chat room for the site would be cool. I don't really like IRC.

I got my signature to have a link to Mibbit and will auto connect to the server and the channel.
Also my signature also has the IRC information.. If you want to make people go there maybe try doing the same thing I did.
People will see it everywhere and they will be (somewhat) forced to check it out.
Also my nicknames on IRC are: Aj, kp_centi, LoliConGuy, or ShotaConGuy
