I love the idea of someone looking at IRC and suggesting they ripped
off Discord

But also #annhililation? I'm lolling rn.

Could have been worse - could have been #lrh.

yeah, the only thing discord got that we don't is voice channels. and
i would be suprised if some found a way to add voice to irc

Yeah, but have you taken the time to see whether it has already been
done?

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

I remember the days of #hottub on dalnet. The trout slap was an
elegant weapon for a more civilised age.

Those were the days. 12 year old me in those popular channels trying
to get @ "op" status.

I first logged onto irc in 1992. Stuck mostly to efnet #hottub. Stayed
somewhat active till 98. Haven’t been on since.

I wouldn’t say I miss it but I did have good times. Great outlet for a
lonely time in my life.
