Someone at work was recently giving me the slack pitch, and mentioned the cool bot that be configured to announce people, answer questions etc... It made me very nostalgic for my old IRC friends, both people and eggdrop bots alike. |

Before XP shipped with Messenger bundled, and aggressively pushed (i recall you would get a big window in your face on first login "demanding" you set up an account), basically everyone with a net connection in the local area was found on one or more regional channels.
After IM came however, things became very "cliche-y" as people were "approving" each other over IM and then dropping off IRC.
