It is a minefield...always. Especially if you have windoze. But if you don't, as long as you are careful, it is OK.

you forgot the most important part -- don't be a moron and IRC as root (decent networks ban/kick people that use root for security reasons -- both theirs and yours)!

IRC is safe, just don't mess with the "wrong" people. the only network that is really full of script kiddies is dalnet, and maybe some other small networks. otherwise, OPN(openprojects.net) has decent users, and so does Undernet.

IRC is fine for small communities where everybody knows everyone, and it's too selcuded to get alot of retards. This is why I like message boards, message boards are very safe.
