IRC is a good place to chat with friends and seaking friends, for some, its a place to have some fun with...others, abuses and become looserS!!

I tend to shy away from IRC because when I'm on my compter (LATE), it seems everyone else is asleep!

Well the great thing about the internet is that its global. Whats late for you is early for one person, evening for another, and just about bedtime for even others. Just look around and you shouldnt have a problem finding a room that is active when you are.

IRC for me is a nice tool of conversation. On IRC i talk to my friends, and make new virtual friendships from all over the world... And you also learn a lot talking to people who know more than you...

yes yes.... this will be topic on my channel....
if you are a looser, you are looser everywhere hehehe
great..

Forum Boards > IRC, I think. I just got out of an IRC chat with some jerk who probably has an IQ on par with that of a slightly soggy cucumber. Forums have a couple points over IRC, but mostly I think it has to do with the fact that people actually stop and think before typing.

Most of the time, anyways. IRC is a lot more spontaneous, and people are more prone to using stupid ABBRVS NDD ALL CAPZ ND BD SPLLING LOLOMGWTFBBQ!!1!1!1 to get their point across. Instead of, say, THINKING.

*coughs* Not that I have anything against that. I just tend to keep away from it. For the sake of my sanity.

i find that IRC is a learning recourse, through irc i have learnt more about the internet than any websites, irc offers the knowledge of other users if your lucky you will find a nice group of people who dont talk sh1t, IRC is much more productive than forums.

IRC is good to contact with friends when you're not in same city like they are and maybe in big city but to say that where to meet etc. Do this trought cell phone is to much expencive :-) And afcource whit IRC help i've founded new friends and girls ;-)

I find it amazing on IRC that someone you know in real life as a nice guy is such a rude arsehole on irc. Personality changes andetc just seem to crazy to comprehend. I do like sitting in irc chat as it a way to bounce ideas off people considering I work from home it is a great help.

What you work if it's not a secret at a home? :-)

IRC is a big place where we metting new friends, making friendship, and a lot of the people spending a lot time on irc..

I think IRC is great for organizing Online Gaming teams and etc

I've been on IRC for so long.
i can never say it's different from real life, since everything you do is part of your real life.
IRC is not a simple chat server. It's at the backbone of the internet. Yes! I am not exagerating.
Think of it:
hundreads of networks, each network links hundreds of servers, each server hosts thousands of channels, each channel hosts so many clients/people.
It is in fact a tremendous facility, that physically connects some really wide landmarks of the planet!
Besides, you find everything on IRC. friends, help, reminescence of the old days of computers, getting updated with newer technology, meet crazy people, meet geniuses (hackers?) experiment with bots, scripts, programs, coding, networking...
IRC is not simply an Internet Relay Chat. its much more than that, and no forum, topic, website can fully cover that up or explain it.

i think that irc has more than chat friends like you said and also
more than C said about scripting etc! (I am lots of times online
and i do both).
unfortunately, irc is a tool for me to download lot of things,
such as movies, mp3s, proggrams!
however, i have to say that i have found people with same interests of
me, around the world

IRC is a total waste of time ... but I like it .
