IRC sucks, always has.
No, not always has. It was good and useful at some point.
But, yes, IMHO, it sucks today. To start with, it is obsolete technology. IRC was invented almost 30 years ago, this is very very old in the context of fast-moving technologies on the net. And it is backward and time-consuming. I don't understand why so many people in the Perl community are still wanting to use it. Just as an example, threaded forums or chats are much better, people know easily who is answering whom or what, you can answer a post from a couple of days ago and make sense, and so on. As for the specifics of the Dancer IRC channel, I just don't know.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
