Rather than use some off irc server, why not use OPN - Open Projects Net
that has hundreds of mirrored and synced servers and is guaranteed to be

Not only that its convienent for those that already deal with projects via
open projects. Just a suggestion not a knock on personal irc server.
FWIW: Many of the larger LUGs use OPN currently.
