JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

According to some website that probably made this up,

quote:

The birthday of IRC was in August 1988. The exact date is unknown, at the end of the month anyways."

In celebration imma just post this here: http://irc.yospos.net/

Fact: In another 30 years slack/hipchat/AIM will all be out of money and IRC will still be rad. Also, IRC 3.0 still won't be a thing and nothing of value will be lost.

I dont share ur optimism, All the og IRC networks have reached a critically low number of servers and also they have dumb user registration mandates. It reminds me of the last days of Usenet (as a discussion forum rather than a :filez: system)

irc on the secret internet is the primary navy comm channel. people thought i was a genius in 2010 because i could set up mirc to auto join channels and change the color theme.
