I don't see Bungie ever having an official server. For one thing, it would almost (at least to me) seem like a slap to the face of the IBO guys who have been running things for years. A Bungie server could kill it.
But more importantly, there's just too much liability with an IRC server. It's impossible to control an IRC channel, so Bungie would have no way of making sure that the server is not doing anything... out of place. Server owners can get into legal trouble for things discussed on their server, just like website owners can get into trouble for what people talk about on their forums. It would also be impossible to maintain the "M" rating that is kept on this site.
Not a bad idea... I just don't see it happening.
As for a channel, well someone could always try to start up another, more "official" b.net channel. I don't know though, I don't see anything other than an official channel satisfying what you're talking about, and I don't see an official channel happening. So :/
On a side note, if you decide to come back to moap, we don't bite. We're usually pretty open to newcomers, but a certain someone has been stupid lately.
I have to disagree, first off, having channels for all the forum topics would be a mess, I am simply saying that indivual groups should have rooms, as for the M part... You can curse and keep M, besides, private chat rooms are not bungie's problem. And if they really wanted to, they could censor words... O.O
