Why did you stop using it?

Why did you stop using it?

I haven't.

18 years and I'm still using it. I think I mostly use it because it feels comfy though.

Irssi & hexchat

this

using it since 2000~

Because Hexchat is better. I stopped using IRC a while ago though.

because its not 2008 anymore

Tried it, didn't like it, ran away. (multiple times over the years)

My first proper touch on IRC after that was GNOME-xchat in 2008

I am using it exclusively because it is paid. (Pirated, of course).

Because, the good search engine sites for it dried up. You used to be able to find any file, but when that went away, so did my need for mirc.

I'd have to use something in order to be able to stop using it.

Why did he suffer the same fate as the Winrar guy?

I'm still using it and I paid for it.

irssi and weechat are infinitely better

Hexchat is better and doesn't nag me to pay some fucker every time I open it. However, I will grant that it's still garbage for uploading files to anyone because they never fixed that. Downloading is fine, but go install hexchat and try to send a file to a friend and watch the abysmal speeds.

Lol if I was bareback (no vpn) in the anonops irc should i assume I'm being listened to?

i only ever used irssi and nothing else

Only client you ever need m8

because it can't into leet transparent terminals like irssi

Doesn't work on teh lunix

A few years ago I ran out of excess free time to sit online and chat

Don't forget that you can run it within screen or tmux for irccloud-like functionality.

Because I stopped using Windows in 2003, and hexchat is in my repos.
