Do we need one? Probably not.
Did we want one? Probably not.
Will we use it much? Hard to say.
For those of you who prefer mIRC, it's on the server: irc.esper.net and the room is obviously #bleedingworld.
It could come in handy, for quick discussion of fine details and such, or just general crapping on about nothing relevant because we're bored. AOPs for everyone \o/
And the room has been set up to be as well hidden as I can make it without requiring invites or a password, because those are annoying and slow things down, I can guarantee we won't get any outside traffic as it is.
(AOPs is Auto-Channel Operator, meaning when you log in the channel will recognise you as important and give you powers. You have to register your name with espernet because you can be added to the AOP list. AOPs allows you to kick people from the room.)
So yeah, another 5 minutes work for me. I've made those things so many times I could do it in my sleep…
