The Young Adult and Campus Ministry Professionals Seminars put on by the UUA YA/CM Office have used online chat for some of its meetings, and I’m setting up an online chat system for the Heartland YA/CM groups to have meeetings in.
The backend of the one I’m creating IS IRC based actually. Many people are not comfortable with that kind of environment however, so I’m using a Java client as the front end, and still allowing IRC client access (since I use BitchX )

Not IRC specifically, but online chat rooms, yes.
