Ironically IMO most of the users went elsewhere because it seemed like mirc wasnt being updated very much and got left behind the times whilst other platforms like slack and discord took irc and built actual useful things on top.
Now the mirc developer is claiming he updates the software so much he needs all the people who already paid him to pay him again, meanwhile slack and discord remain free (ish).

Discord is funded by VC money and the users they've managed to convince to pay for emoji. How much of column A vs column B is unclear at this point
