I think you’ll find that 50 % + IRC users don’t use it for text messaging.
And it looks as though it had some affect on the guys machine(going by his word.)
Yeah for the crappy ircds :/
irc could have still played a part
it depends on so many factors and if people want to focus on you or not
first off, if u dont have umode +x on, then you might as well say bye as your ip can be resolved from host and hence port ranges can be shown etc
u cannot connect to irc through yahoo. however the zombies that are in yahoo are actually infected peoples computers which run automated scripts in the background and hence output ” any boys wanna have fun ” so you click the profile then YOU get infected with whatever it is that is installed on their machine
