If I may weigh into this debate... IRC would be the best option, 
IMHO.  Internet Relay Chat is the longest standing chat program (other than 
talk)... and for those of us who can't/won't get ICQ/AIM/Yahoo/MSN (I swear 
people... get Trillian... geez), it's a good option, and you don't have to 
sign up for any accounts or anything.  For those who need a Windows client, 
you can get mIRC at: http://www.mirc.com/

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and yoink #bnomic on DALNet.  Password: 
"proosal" ... to keep the pr0n bots out.  Anyone care to join me?
