You're not alone. When I started using it for board game discussions my 
first response was "Holy hellballz, which overcaffienated stoner fell 
too deeply in love with IRC?" :)

The functionality is great, but even just dropping the hashtag to 
distinguish channel labels would go a long way to making it look less 
like an IRC holdover.

That said, my circle of friends include a good many who still use IRC 
daily...
