IRC is great for planned discussion meetings or helping one particular 
user, but forums have the big advantage that all the outcomes of 
discussions are "logged" for everyone to read at any point. This is not 
the case for IRC. Developers may not notice the difference because 
they're always at least "physically" present in IRC anyway so they have 
a permanent log, too, but that's not the case for "normal people".

There is a reason why forums (or discussion groups in social networks) 
are much much more popular with the general public than IRC.
