from experience, there is a downside to IRC ... it tends to to be even more 
"exclusive" than elists or newsgroups (complexity, intimidation, whatever).  

one complaint is that these extant lists represent a small subset of the 
SCAdian (cyber-elite ... ++g), a IRC chat-channel, would have a even smaller 
subset ... to my mind, a much better solution would be a chat-specific, open, 
(un-moderated???) list.  this would allow those who want it to easily sub/unsub 
... if setup the way these regular lists are setup, as a parallel option, would 
serve well   

one easy elist option, ONELIST.COM.  self subscribes to several special 
interets lists hosted there.  simple list setup, anyone can create just about 
anything.  easy sub/unsub options  (for anyone looking for more messages each 
day, check it out ...g)

as always. my observations and opinions, your mileage may vary.
