Quagsire Posted June 26, 2016 I mean it's so weird using it. I'd rather use Discord tbh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted June 26, 2016 Maybe everyone else on IRC just dislikes you with a passion 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted June 26, 2016 I don't do IRC either, but you don't see me bitching about it... 0 Share this post Link to post
HorrorMovieRei Posted June 26, 2016 Frankly, I only used IRC one or twice in my life, but from what I've seen it was pretty good. It's simple, easy and to the point. Discord from what I've seen is the same thing as every other chatting app out there like Telegram, and Viber. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't see what could make it so special either. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted June 26, 2016 IRC is the oldest and simplest means of creating channels with structure where lots of people can congregate. It's lightweight and multiplatform. Hard to imagine playing multiplayer Doom without it. 0 Share this post Link to post

esselfortium Posted June 26, 2016 IRC is pretty awesome. For Doom and other creative stuff, it's a great platform for exchanging feedback and ideas, and I've made some wonderful and lasting friendships there. 0 Share this post Link to post

kuchitsu Posted June 26, 2016 IRC was like the biggest tool for illegal file sharing back when p2p networks weren't really in use yet. Nowadays of course more advanced systems took over, but some release groups continue to use IRC for their stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tritnew Posted June 26, 2016 I've used Discord before with my GF and a friend, and it was pretty good. Haven't used IRC though, but I've been tempted on doing so. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jayextee Posted June 26, 2016 OH GOODY ANOTHER 'AM I THE ONLY [ONE]' QUESTION THREAD Seriously do not fathom why people feel the need to validate their own likes or dislikes by attempting to seek the agreement of others. Either multiplayer Notepad is too dated and clunky for you, or you like its simplicity, ease, and number of clients to choose from, or whatever. 0 Share this post Link to post
kuchitsu Posted June 26, 2016 Well, not everyone is a happy socially awesome person 100% confident in themselves and 100% satisfied with their life. Some people have complexes, insecurities, and shit, and finding likeminded people helps them combat that a little bit. It might be kinda stupid but it is a very human thing to do I think. 0 Share this post Link to post

How is being an awkward doofus connected to declaring your passionate dislike for a tool of social interaction on another tool of social interaction? Is IRC too invasive into the personal space of awkward doofuses? Are you proposing Facebook instead? There actually is an official, administration-sanctioned Doomworld Facebook group for such awkward doofuses! Join now! 0 Share this post Link to post

I have complexes, I have social anxiety, but do I shit on a chatting program meant to interact with other people in the world or not even chat with people at all? No. 0 Share this post Link to post

I avoid Facebook like the plague, and have even gone to great lengths to blocking every instance of it, including the URLs. Same thing applies for Twitter. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tritnew Posted June 26, 2016 I still go on Facebook though, I look at it at least, two or three times a day, mostly to check what my GF has posted and take some little peeks at things. Other then that, I could live without it. The Doomworld Facebook page however, is a living breathing cancer. 0 Share this post Link to post
