Well if you want IRC to be more active you might wanna try and control the people that just shout/take the piss out of new people that join the channel and scare them off. When I was on the other day, there was 3 or 4 new people that came in and they all left because of the way they were talked to, and the people that made them leave were proud of it :S Even if people ask stupid questions, they can be told the answer, like "no idea when the test server is up, jus so you know, the server status is in #test, its only up when it says so in there" instead of "omfg1111!!!!!! read the FAQ111111111!!!!!!!!! (sets mode +b)". I told them the idea of the chat was to help build a community and all they said was "no its not" :s
