If so, what are the few surviving networks? Quake.net lol?

There are still *tons* of users. Just back in 2007 Freenode.net has
40,000 logged in users AT ONCE. Facebook-chums probably aren't on it,
but it's still very standard for geeks.

irc.freenode.net - getting bigger and bigger but it's for devs.

ircnet is still big as well as efnet and dalnet.

Not dead, look up any big programming effort and there will probably
be an IRC channel to get help. Also, there are podcasts which record
live and have a chat going during the broadcast. Two networks I listen
to are TWiT and Frogpants.

I always used to think that.

I think its usership has remained flat.

It's hardly thriving and growing but it's definitely not dead.
