I haven't used IRC in a while, drawbridge. I started using it about 8 years ago, but I've slacked off. can you fill me in on it - just a few questions. 1. is it still possible to transfer large files via most IRC clients? 2. does it still function so that everyone's IP address is visible to everyone else? 3. does it get that thing where the server (or whatever) drops out or disconnects one, meaning one has to connect to another server in the list? 4. are there still ghost rooms (or whatever they called 'em)?
