I have long held that IM (in particular MSN Messenger) was what killed community usage of IRC. 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. |
