I'm surprised a proprietary IRC client is getting updates in 2020.

I personally know about 20 people that use mIRC daily.

I use mIRC for my Twitch chatbot. Forum is kinda dead but apart from
that, it's okay if you want to run a chatbot for twitch for an
example.

Wow, I used it back in the 90s. Legit blast from the past.

I still hate mirc Colors.

I'm running mIRC on 2 VMs and 1 workstation, based on an in-house-
developed IRC script that's been evolving since the mid 1990s --it's
specifically configured for my own IRC server.

mIRC has been with me now for wow... like 25 years.  It's amazing how
portable it is, once installed --no problem running it from an
encrypted flash drive (for mobile/work use).  It's crazy when I think
about it, because I was using IRC before there was internet, via SLIP
accounts (Serial Line Internet Protocol, a predecessor to PPP, both of
which were used by analog modems back prior to Windows 95's launch),
via BBS systems I'd dial into, and chat over a terminal app I used
back then called 'COMit'.

I still maintain 4 eggdrop bots, too, which are all Linux native,
running as a non-priv'd service, and have been wanting to work out a
means of bringing a guest IRC client into a VRChat world as an
embedded applications... perhaps UDON will let me pull that off.

But yeah man... IRC's still alive and well.
[Freenode.net](https://Freenode.net) is still hugely populated.
Though, it's been several years since I've been on DalNet, EFNet or
Undernet.  I used to spend a hell of a lot of time over on NewNet and
RelicNet as well.

Undernet is alive and well too. I returned to IRC when the quarantines
started, and was pleasantly surprised.
