Good old Internet relay chat.

It really is like the old irc rooms, lol never thought about it like that. Can.. can you get shared music files though? Lol

It's mostly used for voice chat rooms, popular with gamers.

It's more like a chatroom or a scrolling Reddit that's always set to New but yeah, it's got direct messages too.

Why would anyone use it instead of here?
