Just curious .. Who else still uses IRC and where do you hang out?

I'm usually on irc.dal.net on a retro gaming channel and also on an InfoSec group on another private server.

Also, did anyone ever pay for mIRC? I usually use bitchx.

I'm surprised at how IRC isn't dead given things like discord to be honest. It's sad but IRC still gives me a fuzzy feeling because the channel communities still tend to be tight-knit. Some still do social meet-ups :)

I haven't used IRC for many years although I'm still friends with some people I met years ago through various groups.

Same.. I still talk regularly to several people I met on IRC in the 90's. I've only recently got back into using it though due to new avenues of study and a bit of nostalgia. :)
 
I was on IRC when I was a youngster. My neighour was on it too and he was like totes a billion years old (63ish). He was very familiar with it, to the point of being concerning, and he invited me to some random channel inbetween sobriety sessions. Long story short, he ended up introducing me to a lady of 32 (I was 20 at the time) who I eventually plowed like a nebraska cornfield whilst in her cop uniform and with her 4yo son sleeping next door.


As one would say, in more ways than one, I came far too early.
 
Hah... I thought all the fun ladies were on ICQ. Dated 2 girls from random chat who were great!!

Damn it. Back then all the girls online were intelligent as they had to figure out how to get online and log on to this stuff. Not a duck face in sight.. :/

I used to be heavily involved with IRC 20 years ago. Using Pirch98 and then mIRC. I used to script a lot and get up to no good which is an understatement.

At 19 years old, I also was involved with a lot of older women, including one in the USA!
 
Still on a few servers from some games I used to play 20 years ago, met some good friends and kept in contact with many over the years. Feels more genuine actually connecting to a server to talk to people because you want to compared to WhatsApp/FB where messaging could be any time.

Messaging on the move was a bad idea. Should have kept it to the house and kept text/phone calls for out the house - legit.

Probably the last bastion of free speech, distributed message boards, funny how badly it’s all gone wrong this century.

Well, on IRC there have always been extreme differences of opinion on many channels, however there is no way to delete what's been said, and people never went to the twitter police over it. Love it.
