OOC: Even though I have no admin skills, I've created an IRC channel at coldfront.net as a test (if you join to a channel that doesn't exist, it creates it). How to join?:
1-Go to coldfront.net
2-Choose if you're using the flash ap or the java app.
3-Create a screenname
4-The page auto adds you to the #coldfront channel, which is displayed at the list on the left side of the screen. Close that
5-In the command box down below type /join #WiR1861
6-You're in and ready to chat
And that's how far my IRC knowledge goes, no idea how to register the channel to make it permanent
