There is #startups on irc.freenode.net with some people from here hanging there.

For you continued convenience, simply sit back, click here, and enjoy:

</shameless type="plug">

Ahem it's <plug type="shameless"> </plug>

I think that could better be represented as <plug type="shameless" />

<axod stupidity="100"> </axod>

Also I typo'd "you" instead of "your". It really is true that each child you have removes some of your brain cells.

Plug the hell away. Mibbit offers some of the best functionality of any site I've used, ever. I thought it was so cool to find out about Mibbit elsewhere and then to find out that you'd made it.

now thats impressive.

Also check out http://jircii.dashnine.org an open source irc client I wrote awhile ago. [Another shameless plug] :)

looks pretty dead...noone is talking

It's pretty lively actually. IRC channels are never active 24/7.. There are always gaps.

what times is it active?

All around the clock... just hang around for a few hours...

Jep. If i scroll back, it's only maybe 10 minutes maximum when nothing is said. So you just need to stay :)

There is also the chatterous room for HN at http://www.chatterous.com/hnyc/

I don't think I can take another Hacker News time-sucking/addicting feature now.
