I've noticed some blog posts mentioning IRC communities. I personally haven't used IRC in ages and I'm curious about who is still using it and why. Examples welcome.

I miss IRC.

You had to be at least a little smart to connect, and the not-smart or uninformed could be easily identified as connecting from a webirc gateway.
Of course maybe what I miss was just the old Web 1.0- no 'platforms', peoples web pages were unique and individual not generic, there was no 'like comment and subscribe!!' crap. No algorithms. Discussion was overall more intelligent.
