Updated: thanks to BarginHunter for finding 50% off!. IRC is a really old, but still highly used chat system. I came across this promo when my trial just expired so I purchased my copy. This isn't for everyone but for those who still chat on IRC and are keen on using mIRC, You get 25% off. If you select United States, Alaska, you don't pay any GST as if you selected Australia as your billing location. My payment still went through fine through PayPal in AUD, just without needing to pay GST.

          Four digit, then they had a database crash and lost them all so I ended up with a six-digit one :-(

            @mickeyjuiceman: Oh, wow. The pain… that's almost therapy worthy.

            I remember Island BBS restarting their TradeWars server just a day or two before I was going to finally to obliterate the incumbent, a totally dominant, merciless dude who always destroyed everyone by virtue of sheer size. It took me at least six months of plotting and scheming and logging in at very weird times to build up a fleet that would take him out whilst at the same time engaging with him just enough for him to not realise what I was doing….

            Part of me might still be slightly bitter about that. Another part of me thinks he, my nemesis, ran the BBS…

    As mentioned by other commenters, HexChat is a better free open source alternative to mIRC.

    If you want a more persistent alternative a la znc, consider running a relay on a server such as Quassel or weechat with relay clients (instructions - don't bother with Pushbullet as Weechat Android gives good notifications).

      I think there was another popular one at the time, nine messenger or a msn messenger different to one everyone's familiar with. It had chat rooms, could have been a website though
