I used to spend a lot of time on IRC.  Way too much time helping people
with linux issues of various kinds.  Doing things live was way too time
consuming, so I decided to ban myself from IRC.  I think it has been
almost 10 years now that I have avoided IRC.

The nice thing with the mailing list ist that everyone that is interested
gets to see it.  With IRC only those that were around on IRC at the time
get to see it.

Some people think webforums are better for discussions than mailing lists.
But that is yet another place you have to think to go read.
