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. nate -- This message has been 'sanitized'.
