Same here. We've had a private channel running for over a decade now and as people move to new jobs and shuffle around, the channel is always home.
We've even built a bot to capture URLs and tweet them to a private handle so people can check out sites after work or while away from the channel.
To the person asking if IRC is distracting, it's a LOT less distracting than the hipster that sits next to me and is constantly checking his smartphone every time an SMS comes in. Pavlov would roll over in his grave.
