Alpha Posted June 3, 2014 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.
Hard Core Rikki Posted June 3, 2014 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.

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 Posted June 4, 2014 I would again if there was a community worth joining, I suppose.
Agozer Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Very rarely. I only ever use it if I need to download something that's only available on IRC.
ken_cinder Posted June 9, 2014 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.
