For the record, my company (the company that hosts the WP server) doesn't allow IRC servers on our systems as a matter of policy. We host our own IRC network as the sole exception, and even then it takes up a huge amount of resources just to keep it running and deal with various network/legal/misc threats.

I'm not a particularly huge fan of freenode, but running an IRC server or starting an IRC network to host one channel is overly excessive. Attaching a channel to an established public IRC network is the right move.

Yes but the thing is if wrongplanet had its own server , it would be nicer, becuase of all the people at wrongplanet, i am sure we can get a person that would be technical inclined people to run a server. There is some good and bad points to, because also the fact of freenode had been a great help to wrongplanet.
