The D chat room on IRC has grown to a fine community recently. Peak  
concurrent users of 30 with an average of 20.

We'd like more D users to stop by! It's channel #D on IRC network  
chat.freenode.net. More information at  
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?IRC

We also set up channel statistics at  
http://www.dprogramming.com/irc/stats.html

Hope to see you there!

I had a blast last time I was in there... which brings me to my latest cry for
help. :(

AFAIK, it seems that there's an issue with Gaim trying to co-exist with Gimp or
Inkscape due to each using a different version of GTK+ on Windows (GTK+ won't do
side-by-side versioning either).  Can anyone reccomend a GAIM replacement
that'll do chat and IRC?

Or to put this in a more on-topic way: what is the offical/reccomended client
for D IRC users? ;)

Trillian does IRC if you really want to do it from an IM client. 
Firefox also has built-in IRC capability, try irc://irc.freenode.net 
Personally, I use mIRC as I find it's a bit more flexible.

on #D
Also used: HydraIRC, Opera, Trillian, xchat.

I'm using Miranda ( http://miranda-im.org/ ) solely because it is open 
source :)

I would use either mIRC or miranda. I personally use mIRC (its most mature one
around)

Just to add one, for all the non windows users. Irssi is the best :-)

Once I'm settled into my 'lab' at home, I'll be downloading a new client.

And with that growth came some management problems. I used to have the 
IRC client notify me when someone talked, but it's not pratical anymore, 
as there's a lot of talk now (also with some occasional offtopics :/ ). 
I now only watch it now occasionally, or on particular notifications.
