Haven't you heard? AOL chat rooms are the new IRC.

Srsly, did you slip into a coma in the 90's? IRC? lol

trouts and smurfs... haven't thought about them in a while.

I go into Android channels all the time. Having it be browser based is nice. I have 3 or 4 channels open in one tab.

Is this a necro thread in disguise?

 

[olds]

Haven't used it in years.
EDIT
Wait, nope. I was thinking ICQ.

 

[artikk]

I mainly use it for manga leeching, for chatting not so much.

 

[Zorkorist]

Tech support/Fan for a company I buy from uses it.

Still, nothing more live than IRC.

For starters, its mostly in a java window now, not mIRC, since its no longer 1998. But srsly freenode is an awesome network for IT folk. #electronics, #zipit, #drupal, #windows-server, #linux, #debian.

Twitter, might be an advance on the IRC concept. Nobody on IRC is going to join multiple channels, because they will become overwhelmed.

Twitter, allows you to join multiple people.

[Zorkorist]

But Twitter has all sorts of limitations that IRC does not. Like 40 columns, etc.

irc://irc.efnet.net/#jumping

I have my own bot here. Come join if you wanna talk. It's my friend's channel for talking about sports/basketball/jumping but we talk about everything ( and my bot stores pics of pr0n/girls, notes, etc )

 

[Zorkorist]

Heh, bots are not something that we have to deal with when conversing on Twitter (yet?)

-John

 

[zokudu]

I use it mostly for Linux tech support.

 

[MovingTarget]

We used to have #atot on DALNet. Right now it seems that nobody is in there but me and elwood. There were some good times in that channel a while back.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Is the ATOT vent channel still around? Good memories on there with dartworth, choochoo, and numerous others.

 

[thedarkwolf]

#cartalk on slashnet

 

[Ichinisan]

I was on the Silicondust IRC channel today asking about the HDHomeRun Prime.

 

[zokudu]

I really wonder who are these people who sit on IRC to answer my questions.

 

[MovingTarget]

Now three people in the dalnet irc channel. Won't you join?

4 now

 

[QueBert]

Efnet for life, fuck any other IRC network.

 

[gophins72]

i used to play trivia on it, but not since the 90s

 

[HAL9000]

Nope, I suppose I'm in what you would call the future right now.
