Ask YC: IRC channel for startup people and/or YC hackers?

Does such a thing exist? If not, does someone recommend a preferred network to start one up?

Actually, I did a Google search and found this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=85189 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=85189 Looks like freenode #startups is the place to be, perhaps?

  Exactly. It's not always real active... I guess that's a sign people are busy with other stuff, which is good.

IRC is a waste of time. The best things happen in real life.

  Occasionally, just very occasionally, great things happen on IRC. Unfortunately, it happens so infrequently. You'd get more success by concentrating effort elsewhere.

  Too right! Don't bother with email or phones either. They are useless :/
