"JABBER" on the list Can't we keep it down?

[Technomage]

um, I have an irc server up and running.
pretorian.ath.cx port 6667.

I don't have many bots running on it and chan linux is available 
for creation. if someone needs a place for live chatter, chat, etc, 
then here it is (I have good uptime, so its not a problem).
