Looking for old IRC channels reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfcite · 2023-08-21 17:50 Hello! I am looking for any old (80's 90's) IRC channels to join so i can feel like I'm in these time periods. Anything would be appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zeamp · 2023-08-21 19:54 who dis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SqualorTrawler · 2023-08-21 23:54 This is actually a more fascinating request than it initially sounds. What are some of the oldest, continually-run, still-in-existence IRC channels? One of the frustrating things in searching in Google for IRC logs, is so much that exists doesn't indicate the network. I want to know what some of the oldest IRC communities are, that still exist, and have been run continuously. One difficulty is trying to understand what happened before 1990 when EFnet (this is the oldest still-in-existence network, I think) was formed. However IRC servers were linked previous to that, didn't seem to have a network name; it was just IRC. Dammit this is going to be a time sink. But I gotta know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfcite · 2023-08-22 00:26 Ty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfcite · 2023-08-22 00:26 Im new here ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dowcet · 2023-08-22 00:37 Have you tried the relay chat in Telehack? I get the vibe more from that then I do from real IRC https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how- to/hack-like-its-1987-an-introduction-telehack-retro-game-0197708/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thischildslife · 2023-08-22 03:44 You probably want efnet network if you want old school. Many channels there are very old. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- uhp787 · 2023-08-22 04:31 Some art groups on efnet.
