IRC Flashback

When I first started chatting on IRC (like back in late 95) my nickname was RAVErrr. Nibaq’s nickname was XBS and I still remember the first time he helped me get on IRC, I think I was using the software WS_IRC.
So what was your nickname?

IRhuh? 😛

I think my generation’s first ever experience with chat was ICQ, before the Mass Exodus of 1998, when everyone suddenly decided to switch to MSN.

ICQ, I hated it but everyone I knew was using it so i got on it, then by the time i started using it everyone had already moved to msn lol

you could, but i guess it would just be you there alone lol. seriously though does anyone still use irc? i get on every now and then but its mostly warez related not to chat…

cool you met Nat on IRC how Romantic;p
well i met most of my best freinds on IRC! My nickname was TaFaTeFeY Then ToFa then TwaiF

“ICQ, I hated it but everyone I knew was using it so i got on it, then by the time i started using it everyone had already moved to msn lol”

LOL! thats exactly what happened with me!

lol i joined IRC in like 94 i guess… when the ESKIMO server was hot and way before EF NET. My nick was ^7aboOoba then went to DALNet and my nick was AL-KashkhaGirl and then to EF Net where my nick was ^7aboOoba or Sha3oOoLa then of course ananyah

I quit like ages ago, but i do go back every so often lol

I met my best friend Yousef on IRC when I was 13 hehehe

UMM.. that was way too old Mark it was like at 97 , i had my first nickname there (STILKUS) and it was really unique ,, i’m using it till now cause it’s like free in every site i sign up in 🙂 .. my really main use for IRC servers that time was like downloading illegal software and i didn’t like warez that time .
peace out…!

i was an op on #kuwait and started #bahrain back in the day i think it was around 1994/1995 everything was unix lol. Fireo and Moschino were some of the old time nicks

my nick was whatever stupid shit i could think of. i think i prob had something like q8_neech_girl69 and kept flooding shit like press 1 for sex or kisUM_q8_sandniggers and kept insulting random ppl etc. fuck IRC, i can’t believe ppl still use this shit

MS comic chat was where it was at though. anybody used that? oh man i had so much fun messign around on it.

A wee bit late..but damn..IRC..used to be an op out there on EFnet myself in a bunch of channels.
I knew quite a number of people who met on IRC & got married. I still join there once in awhile when I got the time & bored.

I was watching Startrek TNG at that time, and I used the name Riker :P… I remember we hada coffee group that met once a week… Lotz of memories

DoWn2ErTh was mine, the only remaining memory of IRC is my email which carries the same nickname.. everything else is just a blurrrrrrr…

i’ve been using irc (dalnet) from ages now. i still go there but not to chat or hang around, but only to identify my nicknames. can’t see people getting my identity 🙂 well, crackguy, jim, bouncer, etc.. are my nicknames. now don’t /ns info :p
