when discord and slack took off, IRC community shrank drastically. itb was and is a real shame
What's stopping us from resurrection of the old ways again?
technical barriers for the user and a lack of animated emoji stickers
Every time I see you, your username reminds me of EverQuest.
I think I've brought it up before.
no, why is it EverQuest I don't know anything about video game
In EverQuest there was a character named Canloe Nusback who would accept endless amounts of Crushbone resources in a repeatable quest and so who was commonly used for grinding.
It was popular to call him "Camel Nutsack." Once, I told someone in OOC chat that he was "fondly" referred to as such and someone else said that they'd never talked about a nutsack fondly. The exchange stuck with me, apparently for two and a half decades. Thus, your username reminds me of that conversation and, subsequently, the character and game.
