My entire point, Godsime, is that we shouldn't have to use IRC. Wikia gave us this feature presumably so that we can use it, why should we have to go somewhere else? Is it just decoration? Besides, using IRC only decreases the level of activity on the Roleplaying Wikis I work on, it's really not a viable alternative for us. Sure, it may not have as great an effect upon encyclopedia wikis but I don't see how an IRC can possibly be preferable to wiki chat.
