I had an almost permanent presence on IRC from 1996 until the log closed "15 ‎May ‎2009, ‏‎23:06:19" thanks to a BNC. Only used it sporadically since.

IRC has still been going but due to places like discord and Facebook chat it slowed down but I think more people is starting to use the older IRC with a better client now more than ever before.

I'd need a specialised ui for autistic aid to make much sense / use of it. No offense intended

No problem, I'm not the designed of the app so until they implement that I can't do much about it as I don't know advanced programming, sorry. :)

Whoever this was - no I don't leave my computer running, I run it in private mode so it doesn't log me out when I close the session it stays active. I just obv don't see the chats when I don't have the page open. :p

We not gamers. Sorry. :p

Discord servers are used by the vast majority of online communities, not just gamers, there are 250 million Discord users world wide. In 2012 there was apparently 400,000 irc users, probably down to about 100k now. Not sure why any community would choose to use IRC over Discord these days considering how easy it is to set up and the amount of functionality you gain.

You don't have to come in here to tell me that I already know it. There is also an OcUK Discord server already set up called underclockers if you really interested.

There are people who don't like Discord and prefer IRC style basic chat functions without the stuff that comes with Discord.
