In case some readers are not aware, we do have a group specifically for off-topic
random chat (povray.off-topic).

If anyone really wants real-time communication (and given the dearth of users in the
IRC channel, I think not too many) then it should be something standards-based and
perhaps a little less arcane than IRC. A standard like XMPP for example (supported by
Thunderbird for those who use it). I already have Trillian so I use that instead.
There's dozens of XMPP-compatible clients out there.

FWIW we do have an experimental XMPP service (xmpp.povray.org) but it's only used by
myself and one other user, mainly as a convenience for myself. Not really intending to
do much more with it but if there was interest I suppose I could allow more accounts.
