IRC was a right of passage for us "old" IT guys, especially in college. If you didn't lurk on IRC, you didn't communicate. And you always had a DCC serv running with things you thought no one else could live without. Anyone remember the ascii porn?
The IRC community I was with seemed to completely die out during the last recession. Though I continue to have an IRC client connected 24/7(it takes so little bandwidth to idle), I write maybe a few lines of text a year these days. I scroll back in my log files and see the channels are dead(a week or more can go by with nobody saying anything, with 10+ people in the channel)
IRC was quite addictive for me anyways in the 90s.
