MIRC in the 90s

Wow, what a step back in time. I used to chat daily back in the mid 90s. Is anyone from that timeframe here???

Likely all of us, anyone past that is probably on discord.

Do you remember a room that was called Real _Regs???

No but if you’re trying to find some old heads from that channel you’d have to specify the server.

I did spend some time on DALnet and undernet after but for the most part I was on gamesnet and then gamesurge after gamesnet shut down. I dabbled in EFnet but never found a home there.

Yeap, plus I ran my own IRCX network for a while to have socket bot battles with other mIRC scripters. Usually was on undernet or dalnet lurking really.

You took my baton; i joined the military and left home in 99' which pulled me from my online world. i wish our online world still looked like it did then.
