I don't really like that chat system actually. Everybody seeing everything that's happened before is a little breach of privacy imo. Doesn't give a very casual feeling from the start. Who knows somebody likes to discuss reallife matters, foods, games and so on, do we need to see all of them if we weren't part of discussion? Also i've been in numerous IRC chats, and never seen a single spammer. I don't really know where your experiences with them base on.
I would really like to see a chat possibility on the main form even as a hyperlink to other page.If I would not read Darkhog's post I would not know about this funcionality.
I vote for an irc channel, Freenode is a nice place to hang around. Also, we could use a bot for authentization, checking login and password against the forum db is easy.

I use IRC often so let's create #pascalgamedev or something!

Ñuño, while I know how to use IRC, I dunno how to make channels. So if you know, maybe you could make one, perhaps on freenode, then post channel name and server name in new topic and let WILL pin that? I think it would be good enough.
That's a start. I'm now on channel #pascalgamedev in FreeNode irc, using NetTalk client. Chose that 'cause it's free and lightweight, with relatively good features.
Server: chat.freenode.net
Room: #pascalgamedev
It's simple command /join #pascalgamedev
If there's nobody on the channel, then it's automatically created and you might get moderator status. At least you can register your nickname by following guides you get from:
/msg NickServ HELP
You can also try http://webchat.freenode.net/

Yeah, I know about that - but when no one is on someone may take over channel. To protect channel from that would involve setting up IRC bots and that's outside of my capabilities. Anyway, I don't have time to be channel operator so someone else should be.
