Well yes, but it's not open source nor "free software" in the GNU sense.

I don't know has it ever died but I myself have seen newbies come and go on

I checked the freenode policies - the network is "created to serve groups which
exist outside of IRC. It's designed to encourage community members to improve
their skills in the areas of cooperative effort, interpersonal communication and
project coordination, and to create a real-time bridge to the outside world for
our target communities." - http://freenode.net/policy.shtml
And freenode is a large network - currently there is ~55,000 users connected.
Maybe it could help us get some global attention too? ;)
