I have enjoyed our IRC meets, and I think they have been additive. However, we have discussed chat integration in the past, and my feeling is that it would be addition of a different service that could dilute our focus, and what goes on here. I could entertain making the link more prominent, but IMO there is also a value in the fact that people typically don't discover it right away. Still, I expect that as the user base continues to grow, so will the IRC activity.
