im sure we will have an IRC chat very soon. Just still getting everything setup :)
IRC is old and outdated, pre-dates the internet of today. It's a very niche solution, exposes ip addresses. Here is a source to clarify the decline of IRC: http://royal.pingdom.com/2012/04/24/irc-is-dead-long-live-irc/ With todays web technology, PHP, JavaScript/AJAX, it is much cleaner to develop a custom solution that is much cleaner and better integrated.
I would recommend a custom chat system for hearthpwn. Not a throwback system, that is dead/dying, and used primarily as a tool by 4chan types to orchestrate DDoS attacks, not chat.
I think this portal need thing like this http://www.mmdoc.net/ main thing is http://www.mmdoc.net/chat/
count to six and die...
Think this thread might have been more in it's place in the Site Feedback forum.
A Hpwn IRC channel might not be a bad idea, I'm on there usually anyway, I'd probably join. :)
If you see a bad post on the forum use the report function under it, so I or someone else of the moderation team can take care of it!

It would be nice to have a site chat rather then a IRC chat.
