I'm not so sure.

When the AlphaCore website and forums were still online, it was plain
to see that there were many forum members who we not subscribed to any
of the mailing lists.

With regards to IRC: it's much more difficult to search an IRC chat
log than a mailing list or forum. Also, I can't tell you how many
people I've had tell me that they won't use IRC.

Thanks for your reply,

Matt
