I'm also a big fan of IRC; I've probably been on EFnet since ~1993 and met a lot of great people there.

The weird thing for me was seeing how extensively the military uses IRC (for tactical communications relay -- various headquarters use it to relay information about operations, and they run structured channels for different levels of the organization). Sadly, mainly with mIRC as a client.
