Hmm, the only point I might make TRiP is that part of the reason former forum-goers were able to form such a tight knit group was because the mIRC provided us with an area to speak "live" and stay connected with each other, even across states and continents. On the other hand, that same tight knit "Fam" as the Bunny Man used to call it was also a breeding ground for drama. But it was also due to that same connectedness, and access to things like a chat room, that allowed problems to be patched up, and those that needed support or (for instance in my case) much needed social skills, were given it freely as they were welcomed into the "Fam"...which I will now stop calling that, as its almost starting to sound like a cult XD
But seriously, the IRC was a huge problem, it was rarely filled to the brink, and fraught with troubles, but it also helped draw community closer together and get to know each other, in at least a few cases. I would suggest that it should be brought back.
Hopefully this is enough of a statement to warrant thread necromancy.
