Alpha Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I noticed some of the new emulators have got IRC channels. Any of you guys still on IRC these days? FYI: If you don't know what IRC is: it's an ancient chat system. Internet Relay Chat... popularized with the Windows client, mIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Core Rikki Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Rarely for anything not linux-related, like tech support or quick questions.I see it as a major security and privacy risk with inappropriate protections in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privacy risk I can understand, considering your IP address is shown unless you got yourself some sort of botnet or proxy. But security risk -- in what way?

veristic Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I would again if there was a community worth joining, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Very rarely. I only ever use it if I need to download something that's only available on IRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Almost never...only if I need support for something and it's the only place to find it. I also have not used IM of any kind in at least 5 years now. No more MSN Messenger etc...useless crap. Nothing online needs instant feedback to the point where I need to be on an instant messenger.
