Haha... I will admit to contributing to the death of IRC by blocking the IRC ports on campus back in the day. This was shortly after IRC was renamed to BNCCRN (BotNet Command/Control Relay Network). We also got tired of our T1's getting flooded everytime someone called the wrong person "stupid" on IRC.
Although the best time on IRC was going into a channel and saying "My computer is completely unhackable." Then argue with some of the kiddies for a bit... then say "Go ahead and try if you want, but I guarantee you can't do it. My IP is 127.0.0.1." ray On Fri, 12 Mar 2010, Jarred White wrote: > SEE?! > > I was thinking that an AIX guy should probably know what IRC is :P > > On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 3:42 PM, -ray <r...@ops.selu.edu> wrote: > >> >> Sorry... it was a joke. :) >> >> On Fri, 12 Mar 2010, Jarred White wrote: >> >>> serious or is that a joke? sorry hard to tell through text. >>> >>> On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 2:55 PM, -ray <r...@ops.selu.edu> wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> Awesome...
