An IRC channel would be great for user support, helping each other. Who cares what other hosts offer? You guys are here to set standards, not follow like sheep, so go do it
Well, i prefer CGI:IRC because i had a Java one and it hung on alot of the slower PC's, the CGI:IRC was excellent IMHO, only draw back was it had to be hosted on a Linux computer with an IRC program installed, which EUK dosent offer.
