What's interesting to me is the extent to which IRC support and discussion of technical (programming) topics has been taken over by StackOverflow.
This is admittedly anecdotal, but I often see people refer questioners to SO entries as the answer to something and I've had more success getting answers to things by posting a SO question and then throwing the URL for that into an IRC channel than trying to establish everything in the channel itself.
Maybe SO is just acting like a pastie.org that you can also get answers to.
