I remember the Ops, Sops, +v and all the medieval hierarchy that ensued.

I remember channel takeovers.

I remember the flooding and the script kiddies with their obnoxious scripts.

In a way, IRC let people show the worst of themselves, and I didn't stop using it because new technologies were better, I stopped using it because 90% was silly politics and power struggles.

This sounds vaguely familiar and I'm not talking about IRC.
