thread_title:  (no header) 

message: It states "It costs $20 to register it after the 30-day evaluation period, though no functions are disabled if mIRC is run for longer than 30 days unregistered; a nag screen merely delays the start of the program. Recent versions of mIRC also spawn new browser windows with the registration page."  I have a copy currently at 108 days old,  and it does not allow me to use it now.   I believe this may have stopped working at 100 days.   Older versions went well beyond this.  But this should be modified to reflect current version of the trialware.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.199.208 (talk) 07:06, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Correction Request 

message: Who are the primary users of mIRC???  The article doesn't make any mention of this except to state that mIRC was a popular download on CNET's download.com back in 2003.  The reason why I ask is because I use the internet a LOT . . . . but I don't know anybody who uses mIRC (even I don't use it).  This is a teenybopper application, yes???  If so, perhaps something along these lines should be included in the article.  I also read recently that "Every major criminal in the world is on ICQ", but I don't think criminals use mIRC very much, do they?  That's why the US gov't tried to block the sale of ICQ to a Russian group.  Thanks in advance to anybody who knows.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.39.241 (talk) 03:53, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: mIRC was popular with teenagers and as well as adults back in late 1990s early 2000s.  Had my own channel for six years when people I used to talk too, got older and moved on with their lives.  Other programs such as ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger etc are easier to use than mIRC.  That is possibly one reason why it's not as popular now. Adamdaley (talk) 23:52, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, IRC was all the rage back in the 90's and early 00's. However, many people moved over to IM clients such as ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger when those busted onto the scene. Since then, there has been a shift over to social networking sites (esp Facebook). I haven't used IRC/mIRC in years, but I assume the people that are still on there are old-timers who were around during IRC's glory days. For the most part though, even though IRC (like Usenet) is used by a lot of people and still good at what it does, it is mostly a relic of times past. I'd be surprised if many kids today even know what it is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.146.78 (talk) 02:51, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

text: IRC is still used heavily by programmers as it is a free, text-based, open protocol. The same cannot be said of IM clients or social networks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PINC0234896 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:    Coming late onto this, are the references to ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AIM and social networking sites in relation to use for one-to-one chatting, chatting in known groups or chatting in random groups of strangers?  The last is what I recall being the primary use of IRC.  It doesn't seem to make sense to say that people have moved onto these programs if they're using them for totally different things. — Smjg (talk) 17:05, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You didn't notice that Adamdaley is blocked? He can't respond to you here, and shouldn't be using his own talk page for this either. Probably best if you request he email you. (imho) Have a nice day - wolf 00:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced sections 

message: This was unsourced for a very long time, and was recently deleted (not by me).  I've dragged it here for discussion and help. Please!
:Over the years, various features suggested by users have been incorporated. This includes support for multiple server connections, SSL, UTF-8 display support and an option to view channels and notify lists in a treebar format rather than the default switchbar. mIRC is still in active development but it is very rarely announced what features will be introduced in the future.
Seriously, please source this paragraph about features, esp. the user-sugg part. --Lexein (talk) 00:54, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Could be like this or like mirc but it's not important is it?  The whole legality behind irc clients is based entirely on mirc as a software program.  The software that does this for people seems a little intuitive however yet brings up the idea of bots once again.

message: @QuickQuokka How is clarifying the 'm' in mIRC does not stand for anything not relevant? A lot of Wikipedia pages add a quick note after the main term to clarify something.
