Phoenix Network Forums

Ah, IRC.. the good old Days. Sadly I've kind of missed alot of it, I've only been on IRC since I hopped on to learn Debian Linux.
That was in August 2004. I connected to FreeNode Via the X-Chat 2.0.10c client. I don't remember quite who helped me or what happened, but I do know I'd been on IRC before and I got Debian working. Since then, I went to Gamesnet, and found out what Most of IRC was like.. DDoS attacks, idiots, Lusers, so much crap, with a refuge of a few real friends I meant.. among others. Then I got on a personal friend's network, called The Godly Net back in the day, and it went down hill, switched hands, and now it's dead. Then I got on Watnet from gamesnet, and inevitably left gamesnet forever after a DDoS attack took it down for a few months. Watnet is still around through hell and highwater. It's calming down, IRC, but it's lossing real losers. The guys I know that stick around there and elsewhere, are die-hard IRC nutcases. But they're dying off. IRC is slowly falling off the face of world, and it's kind of sad. I've seen bad networks and good, and the good ones are slowly being cut apart.
Ah.. the good old days.
