I've become increasingly, increasingly, fed up with Skype. The chat is laggy, it's developed by Microsoft, and it is not designed for the purposes we use it for. IRCs, however, are designed for large groups, and require a very small amount of resources to run. Personally, I'd like to switch to IRC again, and this time stick with it. Skype isn't a secure means of discussing a lot of the things that the forum does.

While Skype has always been an excellent medium of communication, there are better out there that I'd encourage people to use - namely XMPP or IRC. I was wondering if anybody else was interested in making the transition to IRC or if they had any concerns. The previous issue we had with using an IRC, is that very few people were active on it, and we ended up reverting back to Skype less than a month later.

Would you guys like to make the switch?
