lol, i pop into IRC from time to time, but unfortunantly, i have my own IRC Network to run, 3000 pesky users getting up my nose can be a hassle lol - Your welcome to use it if you need it, 9 servers, custom services with web interface, SSL connections avaliable to all server, some useful stuff there, and of course, a friendly administrative team

*plug* lol
As for miranda, i had a friend who used that once, he said it was ok, he eventually switched to trillian though, has much more potential since trillian 3 is in alpha (although it now weighs in at a whopping 9mb, when the optimised binaries come out, i'm sure it will be smaller), I'm a trillian fan myself, dont use it for IRC though, i use mIRC for that
