Should we have an IRC network of our own?

Haha, as a bacon/brussel sprout poster on the IRC channel, I understand your pov. TBH I think that once a lot of the stuff concerning the future of the site is settled, a lot of us will move out of the irc to post insightful things on the site instead. But for now, it's good way to get to know each other, offer help. I mean there are important things discussed there (and no, bacon is not one of them, despite its karma points, I agree with you).
There has also not been too many stories posted recently. I don't know if it's a matter of lack of submissions or lack of acceptable submissions but to me that was one of the reasons I came down to the IRC channel, there just wasn't too much happening on SN (plus it went down at some point).
Either way, if it doesn't cost anything to run it, why not? At the very least it'll be useful for the admin and overload meets.

Agreed, there is a cohesion aspect to IRC, (as long as it doesn't turn into a clique or cabal.)
I think after the Drama ended, someone on IRC mentioned that what the site needs most is submissions, and today we see quite a few more, and the comments numbers are up as well.
Discussion should abhor vacuity, as space does a vacuum.
