Never really had a reason to. Always found online communities on messengers, forums and various online games.

Yes, but I've never come close to #jp or #bun.

Only used it to keep in touch with a circle of highschool friends after graduation.

This is absolutely true, although I mostly avoided chatrooms in messengers. It was mainly for one-on-one chat with people I met elsewhere.
IRC always seemed a bit more pure, honestly, and I've always been curious about using it. You don't have to futz with assorted proprietary clients or (until recent years) deal with the deficiencies of third-party clients.

I always heard you can use IRC to get full anime episodes and such as long as you are ïn the know" regarding where to go and what bot commands to type in.

I never did it though. I always found what I needed with torrents.

Until I tried finding the [coulguys] joke sub of Akikan 07. I missed my chance to grab it last year, and so far the torrent seems to have no seeds or leeches.

If you have it, please seed it.

Used it a lot for years. But it's like crack, you spend all your time doing nothing, just having bullshit conversations which amount to nothing at all, and I pulled all-nighters all the time, just to keep chatting about crap. Once I realized how unproductive it made me and how it interfered with my daily life I quit it. Now I haven't chatted for ages (although I've been to IRC a few times for about an hour or two at the time since then).

It was a trollsubbed version of the first episode, spammed all over the torrent sites when it came out as the same file but under different group names, but they were all taken down. I'll post the CRC when I get on my main computer, but good luck finding it.

I spent an entire summer doing nothing but chatting in a Jurassic Park IRC channel and working towards impersonating the channel owner to get ops. I managed to fool them a couple times and I banned everyone in the channel whenever I got the chance.

Good times.

Not anymore. Sometime in my early/middle internet years I would frequent irc.animelab.com. Most of my internet friends are people I met back then.
It's shit now, but I guess it was probably shit then.

How can something like IRC become shit? It's a medium of communication, the only thing that can change within it is are the users.
You might as well call the Internet shit because of sites like this.

Is that better?

>> No.3739942

Depends if you can find a small community. Almost every channel with more than 20 users is full of power tripping OPs who try to make up for their incompetent real life by stepping on people over the internet. That, and the regular losers just jerk each other off instead of trying to make decent conversation.

Small channels usually have laid back people that are cool and friendly to everyone, though.

You had it easy. I come from the era when you had to use !list and ctcp triggers to browse someone's fserve and look for the manga you wanted.

I'm never touching any messengers. IRC all the way. No making an account on some site owned by Micro$oft or such. No ADD ME AS FRIEND PLOX faggotry. The list goes on.

Messengers are for normalfags and people who are younger than the IRC protocol.

What sucked the most was some channels banning you for !list and others requiring you to use it.

I used to run an fserver on IRC years ago and had the trigger !fserv. 9 out of 10 times they'd write !fserve and wonder why it didn't work.
