Oddly I came to ask something, and found this thread that is along the same questioning. I use IRC daily, and connecting and participating in another IRC server is no problem for me, I would be happy to join a qbasicnews IRC channel. However, joining a separate java applet using a different protocol isn't very convenient. The protocol chatzone.de uses is very incomprehensable and I wouldn't easily be able to make a modification to the IRC client I use to handle that. So why not an IRC channel? You can easily find a java applet for IRC. There are lots of them. Someone I know has made one, it isn't tough. And not like you couldn't find a good IRC server.
