> IRC might be 'mostly' dead to you if that's your definition, but it is not 'remotely' dead to me and many others around the world. I'm not OP but how he phrase it isn't about dead to you, but dead in a "commercial" sense. There was no value behind Freenode, except for the community itself (you), and it makes no sense for Andrew Lee to buy it, except for the name. |

There was never a commercial sense to IRC. In fact this is one of the things I really love about it. It's so cheap to run it can be run entirely for free by some enthusiasts. Some sponsors too, sure, but the costs of running it are never huge.
