Back in the days when IRC ruled we were connected by interest instead of proximity. I think most of those friends also faded but that protocol had no persistence so we aren't reminded of them.
- spdebbarma 8y agoI just want to say that IRC is still pretty much alive and kicking. Come back, it's still as fun as it was.
- eswat 8y agoI still hang around one channel for an Unreal Tournament (then Half-Life 2) mod. 15 years at this point and some great people are still in there (and been interesting to see how everyones lives have changed after meeting )
- varjag 8y agoYet in a way it's more persistent than anything. Hanging on a few ancient IRC channels; the oldest is about to turn 20. Several others yet are still older than my teenage son. I remember following 9/11 on IRC in real time, before it hit the TV..
- txdv 8y agoI have a channel of 'friends', the most despicable people I have ever encountered, and it is and was the most fun channel to hang out in
