The SD one is kinda dead, so I’m looking to get something out of my registration of MIRC.

What is a good nattering IRC channel?

What is a good trivia IRC channel?

What is a good political IRC channel?

You get the idea.

I’ve been playing #trivia on [irc.opera.com](http://irc.opera.com) lately. It has some nice features such as a [full-featured webpage](http://man.unk.fi/~seakai/wiki/), teams, a detailed stat system, and some dynamically-generated questions.
