Any IRC fans out there?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been using IRC for many years now, however, I've not used it nearly as much as I've been using it these past few weeks. The reason why I've been using it so much is because I've been running my own IRC channel, I've learned many useful IRC commands and I've met many new friends from chatting. At this point, I pretty much keep X-Chat (an IRC client) kept idle at all times. I have become hooked on IRC.

So.... does anyone here find IRC to be enjoyable?

Former IRC enthusiast. I am glad I got out of that. Great waste of time, IMnoHO

I also am a fan of IRC. I mostly develop IRC bots but I chat alot too..

Between school and personal projects I don't have much time to put into IRC. However, I have an IRC server set up for a social networking website for aspies I'm creating and I hope to make IRC a major part of this project. In other words, I appreciate IRC and really like the idea of it compared to a lot of proprietary chat protocols. Since my IRC server is fully functional now I probably will just let people connect to it and chat so I can get a crowd prepared for when I finish the website. I don't want to make a big deal about it here, so just PM me if you're interested in hearing more about this project.

I'm hooked on IRC. I have op capabilities on 9 different freenode channels, some of which are my own, and I'm a regular in #wrongplanet on freenode.

You mean active IRC channels still exist? I used to hang out on some channels in like 2002 or 2003, but wasn't very active.

I go on a couple of channels, including wrongplanet's, now and again. I used to be one irc more.

I am a regular IRC user. I almost always have a couple of channels open at least. I can normally be found on SynIRC and Tech-Touch. I only tend to visit Freenode occaisionally now.

I have been on IRC for the past 15+ years now.

I've been using IRC for about 2+ years. My dad blocked it through our firewall and I'd like to know how to circumvent that so I can get back on.

Get a different dad?

If it's his network, it's his rules. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to move out so I was no longer under my parents rules. But now I have my own house and I have to live with the parent-like rules the government sticks me with, instead. So despair, because you'll never get out of having someone else making your rules.

But at least where my home network is involved, I'm the boss of that.
