Just wondering... I used to have this program called iRC, but for some reason, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried a few, but just do not like the interface. I loved iRC because it had the same setup as mIRC, which I loved. Any help is great, and personal favorites. Thanks alot!

X-Chat Aqua (GUI), Snak (GUI), AthenaIRC (GUI) or irssi (CLI), BitchX(CLI).

Colloquy is absolutely the best IRC client I've ever used, hands down. I can't recommend it highly enough, and it's free.

The best IRC client is Snak. But it's not free.

Colloquy has serious memory/stability issues last I checked. If you leave it running for more than a few hours, it slows to a snail's pace and only picks up again if you clear the channel's chat history.

If you have to use IRC on PC too and don't want to memorize different applications, then there's also jircii which is based on java and is crossplatform, the problem is that it doesn't have some Mac only things like spellchecking, but otherwise I quite like it. Since it's free and all.
