IRC was a hub for gamers (among others) since well before Skype, Steam, and Reddit were conceived. Teamspeak itself never really had "communities", it was really just "the thing you log into to voice chat during the match" and was almost always a strict subset of the community that paid for the server.
- Arch-TK 3y agoYes, in the past, so what? It doesn't explain why the "server" terminology was used long past IRC's prime. Regarding teamspeak, you're wrong. That may have been your limited experience but I saw many actual communities which existed on teamspeak. People used it in many different ways (and still do).
