Few weeks ago, me and some random 
guy (or girl, who knows?) were talking about the usage of IRC, he found it little bit weird that I use it with IRL-communication too.
At least here they got "irc-training" at uni too, few lessons how to connect and basic commands since the schools provide shells & ftp for students. Not only about chatting, but how to use ssh, pine, mailbox etc via putty for example. Most of the classes (or groups, how do you wanna say it) have their own channels, some got even teachers there every now and then so they are easily available if needed. Even my favourite club has it´s own channel, few bartenders there to announce new stuff and chat about thingies. Though it has been quite quiet lately.
We also got channels for our neighbourhood, and few others with IRL-buddies to plan evil deeds and generall disguss.
Nowadays the usage of fb-chat & msn have gone way down for me, cba to use them since they demand immediate attention and are generally quite annoying, only go for them if I have to. Not to talk about calling / sms, I use phone mostly for answering to it (and IRC ofc) and calling a cab when needed. Phonebill is like 4€ per month.
Kinda lost my thought at some point, damn those customers, distracting me while I got more important things to do.
So, do you got any real use for IRC or is it just a tool to search wars and other ET-related thingies?

ow and use /hide at end :D
+1 :)
Nice hat btw!
EDIT: Not that bad actually, few people have several clients there, some dorks even three. So maybe 10/50.
also its not about the money...then you could also pay people to have fun with you, not the same.
:O)?
#:O) @ quakenet
Don't really use it for any irl stuff, mostly talk to old buddies, bd <3 and stuff. Used to idle more @ freenode and such at a few nerdy channels, a mostly UK group for binrev and what not.
Don't think half of my teachers would know what irc is here : D
Later i started gaming and used IRC for that mostly..
about 2 years ago we made that kind of irc chan for hometown and friends again but it is pretty much dead now.. atleast im not using it anymore, this reminds me, i have to go there again hehe :P
Dota pickups and for ET ofc.
But dont use irc anymore. Dota pickup went website and dont play ET anymore.
then everyone started using "ICQ"
…then "StudiVZ" (Facebook clone)
and nowadays everyone is on FB :/
Unfortunately most people are too lazy to learn how to use IRC.
(one cute girl in the pic and she's standing next to you, well done!)
was on ircnet be4, now im on quakenet
REALLY?
