i've toyed around with nakenchat:
< http://nakenchat.naken.cc >
it's web based primarily, that way you don't need to explain
to some people how to use any irc client, and i toyed around
with some homemade hacks within it adding xor filters and the like.
i had to setup a chat arena where psychiatrists could communicate
with their patients, so you can imagine the security features that i evovled
into it and how locked down you can make it.
it serves it purpose properly, and has pretty much all the features
you'll find in an irc server. when i found a couple problems (buffer
overflows etc),
the maintainer was quick to implement fixes and help out wherever needed.
enjoy.
