Its a kiddo thing. They "randomly" attack a server, then, after dosome stuff, 
they install a bouncer (BNC) or an eggdrop (a bot).Why? well sometimes to 
presume, other times to spoof they ip addresson the irc server, etc.Basically 
they use the BNC (on the compromised host) as a proxybetween he and the irc 
server ( i.e. chat.freenode.net ).

Why attackers use irc after hacking?
Because they are to0 l33ter and want to presume on the (irc)universe.That's the 
most common answer, but there are other reasons.... like bean asshole.

Just chatting is not...I guess..
No, is not chatting, because they can do "other" things like: set afunny vhost, 
avoid being banned (this really depends on the op), use abot (eggdrop) to 
control channels, etc. etc.
Take a look at this 2 links for (basic)definitions: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggdrop

Good bye
