If all goes well, I'll happily b-, I mean, Op the admins.
We had a guy that tried to make the whole skype users switch to IRC a few months ago because it was "better".
The players chose to do it this way, if some want to use IRC, it's their choice. If some want to use Skype, it's their choice. If some want to use MSN Messenger, it's their choice.
The majority of the discovery community chose to use skype and built most of it's internal functions around it. Considering the community started in 2005, you'll have a very, very hard time getting anyone to switch. At best all you'll create is another optional chatroom just like the skype chatrooms with 100+ people that existed and never worked.
Also if I recall quakenet will show the ip of the closest internet relay from where you connect to everyone in the chat unless you register with them and do that command to log and hide it.
