I wonder why hasn't been a problem with stuff like IRC. At least, I've never experienced this problem, and I've been using IRC fairly regularly since 2006. Heck, for a few years I even hung out in various *chan servers. Have I just been incredibly lucky?

Back from Quakenet era there were fewer and smaller online communities and generally internet was seen as niche whereas now it is a commodity.

Are there any gaming communities still using IRC? It might still be niche which is why it's not a problem?
