AC was talking about using freenode (or equivalent service) and then that service got hacked and hackers got hold of our passwords and stuffs.
That's a danger.
Running our own IRC does not negate _that_ danger, though, as hackers who can hack freenode also can hack pipedot or any other domain name that we end up using, and if they are good enough, they may still get away with the paswords and stuffs.
