    The IRC network is a bit of fun, and it's an enjoyable place to lurk. There seems to be plenty of users, and since most/all of the meetings and major decision making is conducted through it, I'd personally be a little reluctant to move it to a third party. It'll use trivial amounts of bandwidth and resources anyway.

    There's also the issue of Freenode being blocked at many places of work.

    You're reluctant to move it to a "third party" like freenode??

    In terms of IRC, freenode is trustworthy, anything private is NOT.

      I think (you'll have to ask Landon) our original intention was to be much like SlashNet, but better.
