Or, not.

Why waste the money when there are so many other clients for free.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Or you could just use hexchat.

Mirc is bloated

I seriously only keep mIRC because it has amazing script capabilities
and eats less processing power (my system is getting old).

Or you could just not use mIRC. Seeing as there's better, free
options.

Hexchat has amazing script capabilities too, except in real
programming languages (Python and Perl, both of which are far more
powerful than mIRC).

year an a half ago. That said my daily IRC client is weechat with

mIRC sucks. Hexchat, irssi. Get with the program.

For Windows, early on.. the choice was clear (it was mIRC). I feel
like mIRC (with it's own simple scripting language) spawned a vast
majority of the competitive Windows IRC clients.

If you use the software regularly, buy it. Contribute to the
developers who work tirelessly to develop a program and (continue) to
develop it.

Seriously. $10 for a perpetual license on a useful app that I've never
had any issues with? That's a damn good deal.

I keep meaning to buy a Windows license for my home-built machines,
but at over $100 for a piece of software that I kinda like, that will
be obsolete in a couple of years and cost me another $100+ to
upgrade...

seiyria · 2014-11-05 01:28

Yeah, except mIRCscript is trash. :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------
seiyria · 2014-11-05 01:29

In in this boat, except I made an IRC client a long time ago that did
Python / Ruby / JS. I need to remake that sometime...

I think KVIrc has quite similar scripting capabilities.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ktr0 · 2014-11-05 11:25

yeah I bought it at least three years ago, nonamescript was the reason
to do so. that said, I usually use irssi and connect mirc through
proxy addon on windows..
