At this point used only by stuck in the past retards and pure schizos. Have fun

I used to use Hexchat, and then moved onto Weechat because it was the Sup Forums ricer thing to do. Now I've grown out of the ricing phase, but I can't leave Weechat. It's super convenient once you get used to the commands and config it right.

This. Lounge is the best.

I do prefer weechat, there is a plugin to use OTR :D

Weechat relay + glowing bear

Textual.

Pidgin

This.

I can't go back to IRC. The old fuckers from 5 years ago are still there in the same channel, but I refuse to introduce myself again.

Stop being a pussy and use irssi or weechat.

Use a new different nick.

a diy one :^)

>using the smiley with a carat nose
>using java

I can't because I always use my real name.

I used one.

It just so happens that their IRC network is very, very small, has like 5 or 6 channels and there's always the same users around for a specific community, so if they see any new activity they'll really put attention on that. It's a community about retro computing, but I don't really fit much in there anymore. I just have some curiosity I guess.

Obviously this, there is no better option available.
