I have owned and operated several IRC networks back in the day. If we can get the support, I would put one up for vB. I'm not talking a channel, but our own network with several dedicated server(s). I can easily install the latest cservices for channel and nickname control, etc. without out any trouble.
In fact, we don't have to limit it to a vB dev network. It could even supply vB owners with a place to register a channel for their board. Several programs (Java or otherwise) exist to interface into IRC.
