Worlds of domains at my fingertips
the joy of interconnectivity..
That was 10 years ago..

I come back to IRC and find that all of my old communities are
vanished, where did everyone go, why is it so empty.

Well, you might start using question marks.

But on a more related note, I think it's just that new communities
have formed. Communities online don't exist forever. Some are rather
short-lived, others exist longer, but they all eventually are replaced
with others.

GUIZ, MY FRIENDS ARE GONE. THEREFORE IRC IS DYING.

staplezz:

1. What's the point of this post?
2. #openfiler, #postfix, #android. Dude, do you realize that your
inane ramblings of friends online may have gone away, but IRC is very
much alive and kicking. Just because in your small slice of reality if
affected doesn't mean IRC is dying in any way.

shortsighted of me. Thanks.
