The biggest weirdness on IRC compared to all other platforms is that you NEED to be online 24/7 with your client or you'll miss stuff. There is no "backlog" except for the one you see yourself.
On the other hand it's a good thing, people can't just join and scroll down 10 years of chat history.
But you'll also be completely unfindable unless your client is online.
