My wife was once on irc for so long her ISP contacted her and asked if she was trying to run a server. Worked out well in the end I guess, I met her on irc 25 years ago. As for me, well, when I was on dialup I had a brutally effective means to keep connection times short: an irate dad yelling "Get off the damn line! I need to use the phone!"
