I never used IRC that much until quite recently actually.  Only a few channels, but there are regulars there so you get to know people and what they are like.

It did get annoying to have to respond to an e-mail, then get an SMS and at the same time get a messenger notification.  I used aMSN, which might have had different sounds?  I can't remember now but I still have all the chat logs from pretty much every conversation.
