I know this thread has been around a while, but just thought I'd make a comment on it since it's something that my friends and I on the network we use have discussed several times.

I always thought IRC held its own against the likes of MSN, Yahoo, AIM, etc. However, in more recent years the introduction of MySpace and Facebook seem to have left IRC in the shadow somewhat. These social networking sites seem to offer just about everything IRC can, as well as a few extra bells and whistles that appeal.

The comment I read about IRC being a generational thing I can also agree with. The "new" generation are automatically tuning their net time into these social networking sites, leaving IRC with the "last" generation of people. That's not to say there's no newbies on IRC, but in the bigger picture that's the way I perceive things to be happening.

I think there'll always be a place for IRC, mostly due to people like me and you, but from my experience alone I've seen it dwindle rapidly in the past few years, to an almost stagnant position.

I've been ddosed before and I have a very small network. The thing is now trying to find a user base. We've been up for 8 years and we had large commuities - who ended up getting their own irc server up. Everyone has them these days that no network can grow or get users because they make their own instead.

I think starting general networks will never realy work on a big scale. You need to have a goal in mind such as its for a community, a game, a website or even a large clan. Seting one up and asking and expecting people to come and stay dosent really work.

I hope the future of IRC is bright. Been using it many years and indend to carry on. Wish more people would find the love that I have for IRC.

Thanks
