I am suprised you don't use a search engine, such as google
using key words 'v8 irc chat' and find what you are interested in, alot of ppls host their own webpages w/ a java chat that can also be accessed from an iRC server using mIRC, w/ its' address is often given.
That's the wonder of iRC, you have an intrest, some ones' got a chan. You just have to find your own niche.
