    Anyone who prefers IRC-style internet chat to forum-style internet chat clearly doesn't have enough social anxiety to be on the internet in the first place.

    This is an opinion I have held since the 90s and I won't be changing my mind any time soon.

      I grew up using mIRC in the early 2000s. It was the foundation of my early internet experiences. I'm pretty used to chat-esque applications because of that I think. And yes, I do have social anxiety.

        Before Napster I used to pirate mp3s using IRC bots that DCC'd the file straight to you.
