#MIRC SCRIPT COM PROFESSIONAL#

In real life I was just a kid, but on IRC and Usenet I could discuss MTG deckbuilding strategy or C++ programming with adults and they wouldn't know how young I was.Īnd I think that's the draw.when you're young, bright, and ostracized by your peers for wanting to discuss 'serious' topics like professional gaming strategy or programming, IRC is a panacea. I started with IRC when I was about 12, and I still remember how magical it felt. You're definitely on to something with regards to young developers. Your site is barely recognizable now, but thanks to the Wayback machine I remember it now. IRC has been a major part of my life and has in many ways formed my entire development career. I've been watching them for 16 years and some come back and reminisce about their old IRC scripting days.

Many mIRC scripters are in their teens and some grow up to be professional developers. One thing I've noticed is that IRC is and always has been popular among very young developers. In fact I get a little embarrassed by all the mIRC content on the site. While I've been working hard to transition the site to more modern development platforms the mIRC posts keep coming. We still have members posting mIRC snippets to this day. While mIRC script traffic has steadily declined over the years there is still a strong community. This momentum has carried the site all the way to 2013. I did this for many months and the site quickly became one of the top IRC sites online. Young developers would email their scripts to me and I would write a very critical review of them. I started an mIRC script site back in 1997.
