How about using the IRC you asked for?

[anon]

There used to be a lot of demand for an IRC channel. Staff were pressed to make one and listed its advantages left and right. But we've had it since the year started now, and no one seems to use it. Call me a pessimist, but besides a few days when a lot of people were talking, I'm not sure we can even say it picked up at all.

And Instab stopped using his real name on the channel. Who knows for how long it's been like that.

i hate to say it but it happened exactly as i expected it

oh this is last month post I though that IRC channel for SB-I members will be fully active but seems it's fully dead and I saw this thread http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthre...threadid=27157 which actually didn't like it's idea so much. I will idle as much as I can on IRC but if it will be ajax chat for all sb-i members then no need for IRC channel.

Chatting > idling.
